The remote pipetting system described in this brief report enables sample aliquots to be accurately and precisely delivered in remote environments. The reliable, independent control afforded by a microcomputer facilitates operator interaction and provides accurate documentation of operations. Major features include electronic sensing of the plunger position, stand alone operation, a software driven self-test of the electronic and mechanical systems, hard copy output of pertinent operational information (placed directly on the analyst's work control sheet), and the capability to implement direct communication with a time-shared data management system. 4 figures, 1 table.
