Zusammenfassung:An apparatus configured to complementarily engage a pipetting head of a liquid handling system such that movement of the pipetting head effects a corresponding movement of the apparatus. The apparatus includes at least one engagement feature that is configured to mechanically and releasably engage a surface of a labware item as a means of releasably coupling the labware item to the apparatus. The labware item has at least one complementary engagement feature and optionally at least one release feature. With the labware item secured within a receptacle, the apparatus can translate relative to the labware item so that the engagement features of the apparatus are in engagement with the release features of the labware item, thereby permitting release of the labware item upon movement of the apparatus relative to the labware item.
