Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0051738A1] A battery powered, microprocessor controlled portable electronic pipette (10), comprising a hand holdable housing supporting a battery (16), a linear actuator (40) for driving a plungner (90) lengthwise in a cylinder to aspirate and dispense fluid into and from a pipette tip (60) extending from the housing and a control circuit for the linear actuator. The linear actuator is powered by the battery and comprises a stepper motor (40) with current receiving windings for electromagnetically driving a rotor to impart the lengthwise movement to the plunger (90).
