ABSTRACT:
A sample aliquot pipette tip (SAT) includes a pipette tip and a sample aliquot cup. The pipette tip is collapsible. The sample aliquot cup is arranged above the pipette tip and is fluidly coupled with the pipette tip. The SAT works in concert with a tip aliquot support (TAS). The TAS may include a channel for accepting a collapsed pipette tip of an SAT, a support for accommodating a sample aliquot cup of a SAT and a constricted passage arranged between the support and the channel. As an SAT is inserted into a TAS, the constricted passage of the TAS collapses the pipette tip of the SAT. The collapsed pipette tip of the SAT is then received by the channel of the TAS. When the SAT is fully inserted into the TAS, the support of the TAS accommodates the sample aliquot cup of the SAT.
