Definitions
- the invention relates to a pipette.
- Bubble pipettes are used in the laboratory for dosing liquids. They are in different versions known. Bubble pipettes have an integrated Cylinder with a piston arranged therein. The cylinder is over with a channel an opening in a mounting lug connected. A pipette tip is detachable with connectable to the attachment approach. By moving the piston in the cylinder is Sample liquid sucked into the pipette tip or expelled from this. in this connection piston and cylinder do not come in contact with the liquid, because the piston the Fluid indirectly moved over an air cushion. Only the pipette tip, which is usually is made of plastic, is contaminated and can be replaced after use.
- the pipette When pipetting, the pipette delivers the liquid picked up by the tip or syringe in one step. When dispensing, the syringe or tip picked up by the syringe or tip Delivered liquid in small quantities.
- Multi-channel pipettes have several channels, by means of which is metered simultaneously.
- Pipettes can be designed as a handheld device and / or as a stationary device.
- Manual pipettes have an operating button that is directly or via a gear with the piston in a cylinder or other displacement device for an air cushion or sample liquid is connected.
- Working with manual pipettes is tiring.
- an electric drive motor is over Gear coupled with a displacement device.
- the user controls the Functions of electronic pipettes by pressing a button.
- Working with electronic Pipettes are therefore less tiring.
- the handling is for users getting used to manual pipettes. In particular, it lacks one with the movement the displacement means synchronized actuation of a control knob.
- the object of the invention is to provide a pipette to put a less tiring work while largely maintaining the Handling a manual pipette allows.
- a drive motor assisted axial movement of the piston i. a servo-assisted Piston movement.
- This movement lasts as long as the user on the Control button presses. Consequently, the user moves the piston during pipetting, dispensing or similar functions only with a reduced effort.
- the Return movement of the piston and the lifting rod is after relieving the control knob caused by the user of the piston spring.
- the piston spring also cause the return movement of the drive spindle.
- the drive spindle is preferred at a signaled by the pressure sensor relief of the control knob of the electrical control device by applying an electrical voltage to the moved back electric drive motor.
- the operation of the pipette corresponds to one conventional manual pipette, with the effort required for the operation similar to an electronic pipette. Since the piston spring the Piston presses against the end of the lifting rod, the pipette is free of play and must therefore do not make a reverse stroke for game compensation.
- the pipette can only be used for working in pipetting mode or for working in dispensing mode or for working in both modes.

- Working in dispensing mode is done by the user controlled only by pressing the control button. The ones intended for dispensing Dispensing volumes required piston strokes are from the electrical Control device controlled.
- the electric control device sets at one of Pressure sensor signaled reduced pressure on the control knob no electrical Voltage to the electric drive motor on. This allows the user to Stop the pipette by reducing the pressure on the control knob.
- the pipette has a lower stop which coincides with the stop bead the lift rod cooperates and is spring-loaded and shifts the electrical Control device at a signaled by the pressure sensor pressure on the control knob when concerns the stop bead on the lower stop by applying a electrical voltage to the drive motor, the drive spindle continues towards the bottom stop, so that the stop bead compresses the lower stop resiliently. This makes it possible, overcoming the spring force, an overstroke of Perform piston, which causes a discharge of residual fluid.
- the extent of the overstroke and the return to the Sprung state of the lower stop manually controlled.
- another Design controls the electrical control device to a pressure on the Pressure sensor the process so that the stop resiliently by a certain extent is compressed.
- the return to the rebound Automatically controls state relocates the electrical control device a signaled by the pressure sensor relief of the control knob by applying a electrical voltage to the drive motor, the drive spindle until the lower Stop is rebounded. As a result, the lower stop position is found clearly.
