  • the present invention also makes it possible to easily switch the locations of the pressing or touching areas, for example, for different fingers, during the use of the pipette, which makes it possible to minimize further the stresses caused by pipetting.
  • the electronic pipette in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, may also be equipped with a programmable feature for monitoring the physical stresses caused by the use of the pipette, and based on the monitoring, for suggesting modifications or changes to the placements of pressing or touching areas in order to lower the physical stresses.
  • This programmable feature is advantageously part of the control software of the electronic pipette.
  • the present invention also allows a method for operating an electronic pipette, wherein the pipetting operations of the pipette are carried out by touching or pressing a touch screen, which touch screen is part of the user interface of the pipette.
  • the present invention also allows a use of a touch screen as a part of a user interface of an electronic pipette for operating pipetting operations of the pipette.

  • the pipette is gripped with hand from handle portion 6 , which handle portion also comprises at its upper end a finger support 7 .
  • the touch screens 4 can be operated with the index finger of the gripping hand and the touch screens 3 and 5 can be operated with the thumb of the gripping hand. Alternatively, the touch screens 3 , 4 and 5 can be operated with the fingers of the other hand.
  • the touch screen 3 on the pipette 1 is divided to several areas 8 - 12 each of which can be set to either purely present information, register pressing or touching and carry out certain action, or combination of these two. Further, each of the areas 8 - 12 , as well as the touch screens 4 and 5 or parts or these touch screens, can also be set to be inactive, for example, to be used as support surfaces.
  • Touch screens 3 , 4 and 5 or parts of them can also be set to register sliding functions, whereby, for example, the pipetting motion can be carried out by moving finger along the surface of the touch screen.
  • this sliding function the piston of the pipette follows the movement of the finger in real time.
  • this sliding function can be used to activate pipette's mixing function, for example.
