The dispensing tools for the epMotion are piston-stroke pipettes which operate according
to the air cushion principle.
If the piston moves upward in the dispensing tool, liquid will be aspirated into the pipette
tip. If the piston moves downward in the dispensing tool, liquid will be dispensed from the
pipette tip.
In multi-channel dispensing tools all pistons move simultaneously.
