Abstract
Abstract A product employable in chemical working operations, for instance pipetting, where one or several devices are moved between, inserted into and withdrawn from a plurality of liquid containers arranged in a row, with the product preventing undesirable transfer of liquid between the containers. The product includes a layer of an absorbent material covering the openings into the liquid containers and closely engaging the devices to wipe off and clean their exteriors. The layer of absorbent material is fixed to a supporting layer provided with oval holes arranged to register with the openings into the liquid containers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
A product for use in chemical working operations, for instance, pipetting, wherein at least one device, such as a pipette, is moved between, inserted into and withdrawn from the openings into a plurality of liquid containers arranged in a row with the product preventing undesirable transfer of liquid between the liquid containers, wherein the product comprises a strip-like member for covering the openings into the liquid containers, and said strip-like member includes a layer of absorbent material having the ability to wipe off and clean the exterior of the device when it penetrates the strip-like member, a supporting layer attached to said layer of absorbent material and said supporting layer having spaced apertures arranged to register with the openings into the liquid containers with the layer of absorbent material spanning the apertures, said supporting layer having a first surface in contact with the layer of absorbent material and an oppositely directed second surface, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive deposited on the second surface for attaching said strip-like member to the liquid containers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
