Methods and devices for measuring the volume of a liquid sample transferred from a source to a destination by means of incremental dispensing of the sample into a destination vessel or by means of decremental aspiration of the sample from a source vessel, where the liquid sample is collected from a liquid having known optical absorbance at a known wavelength or within a defined part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The absorbance of the sample is measured by exposing the source or destination vessel to electromagnetic radiation before and after the transfer, and the liquid volume is determined on the basis of differential measurements of absorbance of the source or destination vessel.

Abrégé

A method and device to perform liquid handling by means of manipulation and transportation of consumables, instead of manipulation and transportation of a liquid handling head, among static or quasi-static liquid handling heads. A quasi-static liquid handling head (or pipette) that doesn't move between the aspiration and dispensing steps.

Abrégé

The present invention is directed towards an apparatus and methods for a precise, fast and easy to use manipulation of beads. This method is particularly useful to carry out separation between the beads and the remaining supernants present in the fluid, maximizing the collection and purification efficiencies in tips for liquid handling.

Abrégé

Methods and devices for measuring the volume of a liquid sample transferred from a source to a destination by means of incremental dispensing of the sample into a destination vessel or by means of decremental aspiration of the sample from a source vessel, where the liquid sample is collected from a liquid having known optical absorbance at a known wavelength or within a defined part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The absorbance of the sample is measured by exposing the source or destination vessel to electromagnetic radiation before and after the transfer, and the liquid volume is determined on the basis of differential measurements of absorbance of the source or destination vessel.
