Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
There is described a fluid dispensing system which includes a pipette assembly adapted for use with disposable pipette tips. To ensure a precise location of a disposable pipette tip on the distal end of the stem of the pipette assembly which holds the pipette tip, a proximal chamber of the pipette tip envelops the distal end of the stem and includes a ledge which encircles an annular region of the stem to form an abutment for the stem and establish a precise distance between the distal end of the stem and the pipette tip orifice. In a preferred embodiment the fluid dispensing system is incorporated in an automated analytical instrument.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 2, 1991. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 2, 2011.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 2, 2013.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
