The first and second dispensing tips can connect to separate dispensing stems, as part of a chemistry analyzer. The first dispensing tip may be used as a cuvette, a reservoir, a reaction chamber, an incubation chamber, or dilution chamber. Also provides is a method for sample, handling comprising, aspirating the sample within a first dispensing tip, sealing a lower end of the first dispensing tip to produce a sealed dispensing tip, inserting a second dispensing tip within the sealed dispensing tip, and either reaspirating the sample, dispensing one or more fluids, or both, within the sealed dispending tip. |
