Patent attributes
In order to increase the compatibility of a pipetting system tip with various types of cones, the invention provides a tip comprising a first group of first cone retention elements defining a first maximum outer diameter; a second group of second cone retention elements defining a second maximum outer diameter; a third group of third cone retention elements defining a third maximum outer diameter. The first maximum outer diameter and the second maximum outer diameter being different so as to together define a first tip portion having a first conicity, and the second maximum outer diameter and the third maximum outer diameter being different so as to together define a second tip portion having a second conicity smaller than the first conicity.
