US Patent:
6365110, Apr 2, 2002
Filed:
Mar 9, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/522256
Inventors:
Kenneth Rainin - Piedmont CA
William D. Homberg - Oakland CA
Assignee:
Rainin Instrument - Emeryville CA
International Classification:
B01L 302
US Classification:
422100, 7386413, 7386416, 7386418
Abstract:
A blowout springless manual air displacement pipette including a mechanical assist for generating a mechanical force opposing a return spring force on a plunger unit to aid a pipette user in locating and maintaining the plunger unit at a âhomeâ position within a pipette body and ready for immersion of a pipette tip in a liquid to be drawn into the tip.

US Patent:
6428750, Aug 6, 2002
Filed:
Apr 13, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/548439
Inventors:
Kenneth Rainin - Piedmont CA
Phillip Yee - San Francisco CA
William D. Homberg - San Francisco CA
James S. Petrek - Danville CA
Assignee:
Rainin Instrument, LLC - Oakland CA
International Classification:
B01L 302
US Classification:
422100, 436180, 7386401, 7386411, 7386413, 7386414, 7386416, 7386418, 7386332, 222154
Abstract:
A volume adjustable manual pipette having a hand-holdable housing supporting (i) an electronic digital display and associated position sensing and control circuitry, (ii) a plunger unit and (iii) a quick set volume adjustment mechanism for simultaneously controlling the volume setting of the pipette and the electronic display, the quick set volume adjustment mechanism comprising a pipette volume setting member for limiting upward movement of the plunger unit within the housing to define the volume setting for the pipette and the volume setting member being supported for axial movement on the plunger unit and releasably secured relative to the housing by a pipette user operable locking mechanism. When released from the housing, the volume setting member is axially moveable on and with the plunger unit to quickly set the volume for the pipette. When secured to the housing, the plunger unit is axially moveable relative to the volume setting unit to aspirate and dispense the selected volume of liquid into and from a pipette tip extending from a lower end of the housing.

Hybrid Manual-Electronic Pipette

View page
US Patent:
7726212, Jun 1, 2010
Filed:
Sep 27, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/906187
Inventors:
Haakon T. Magnussen - Orinda CA, US
Andrew Vainshtein - Palo Alto CA, US
James S. Petrek - Danville CA, US
William D. Homberg - Oakland CA, US
Assignee:
Rainin Instrument, LLC - Oakland CA
International Classification:
G01N 1/00
US Classification:
7386416
Abstract:
A hybrid manual-electronic pipette combines a manually driven piston with real-time electronic measurement of liquid volume and piston displacement while compensating for both pipette-specific and pipette model-specific variations. The hybrid nature of the pipette facilitates increased accuracy and improved ease of use, and enables additional functionalities not practicable with traditional manual pipettes.
