Using established needle- and tip-based liquid-handlers partially restricts applications that require the handling of greater sample amounts, options for filtration or handling of liquids with uncommon behavior. In this paper the prototype development of a versatile liquid pouring device (vLiPD) is described, which offers complementary features to usual liquid-handling solutions. For mapping the container characteristics, a geometrical and an on 3D-CAD-model-based approach are introduced and compared. Influences by the liquids' behaviors are compensated by liquid-specific calibration factors.
