System and apparatus for reactions
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a liquid transfer device comprising a housing having a pipette tip and a plunger assembly;
a fluid reservoir; and
a reaction chamber,wherein the housing of the liquid transfer device comprises an asymmetrical cross-section that is compatible with a cross-section of a housing of the fluid reservoir and, when mated with the fluid reservoir, the liquid transfer device sealably engages with the fluid reservoir;
wherein the asymmetrical cross-section of the housing of the liquid transfer device is compatible with a cross-section of a housing of the reaction chamber and, when mated with the reaction chamber, the liquid transfer device lockably engages with the reaction chamber; and
wherein the reaction chamber has an asymmetrical cross-section that is compatible with the cross-section of the housing of the fluid reservoir and, when mated with the fluid reservoir, the reaction chamber lockably engages with the fluid reservoir.

Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and methods for liquid transfer and performing reactions. In one aspect, a system includes a liquid transfer device having a housing having a pipette tip and a plunger assembly; and a reaction chamber, wherein the housing of the liquid transfer device is configured to sealably engage with the reaction chamber. In another aspect, a liquid transfer device including a housing having a pipette tip; and a plunger assembly disposed within the housing and the pipette tip, wherein a portion of the plunger assembly is configured to engage a fluid reservoir such that the plunger assembly remains stationary relative to the fluid reservoir and the housing moves relative to the plunger assembly.
