a non contact dispense routine in this modification an external instrument provides an air source that enters the capillary hole 22 and forces the mixture 21 out through the input aperture 11 into the microtiter plate 14 the molded capillary hole 22 could also be used to meter a specific volume of source liquid similar to a molded pocket referring to fig1 12a the pipette tip 10 can include a protrusion with capillary like geometry or other modifications of the internal molded feature 23 for capturing and retaining the source liquid 17 referring to fig1 13a the pipette tip 10 includes a feature 24 that protrudes towards the center of the tip the feature 24 can include very soft edges 25 so as to not trap any liquid in small geometric spaces the feature includes the metering pocket 26 or pockets that capture the source liquid not shown referring to fig1 14a a tube 27 is shown to include multiple pockets for a clear visual in the drawing the tube 27 is cut along its centerline to expose the internal pocket 28 and 29 the closed slot pocket 28 captures and retains source liquid 28 a in the same manner as open slot pocket 29 captures and retains source liquid 29 a the source liquid could flow in the direction of arrow 30 and return in the opposite direction of arrow 31 leaving a precise amount of source liquid 28 a and 29 a in both pocket 28 and pocket 29 respectively in some embodiments the source liquid may be a finite slug and flow only in direction of arrow 30 leaving behind a precise amount of source liquid 28 a and 29 a in both pocket 28 and pocket 29 respectively referring to fig1.
