Valves for constant flow in gradient mixing
Miniature, manifold mounted solenoid valves simulate a constant flow by rapid cycling, and dispense gradients from multiple fluid streams in precise, repeatable volumes
Miniature pivot valves are manifold-mounted
Compact version of inert, solenoid-operated pivot valve for controlling high purity or aggressive fluids is designed for use in medical and laboratory instrumentation in two- and three-way set-ups
Patented and manufactured by Bio-Chem Valve, the manifold assemblies assure integrity in the handling of high purity or aggressive chemicals in challenging, multi-directional flow control applications.
They offer a cost-effective combination of fluid controls in a single unit, replacing multiple independent valves, metres of tubing, multiple screw sets, and ferrules.
The neat, single-piece 'plug and go' screw-in style valves mount quickly to eliminate cumbersome and time-consuming on-site assembly operations, and the problems associated with tube-fittings, stripped threads and improper port seals.
The instrument manufacturer can therefore achieve impressive savings on labour costs, part sourcing, and multiple parts tracking, and reduce product size.
Each manifold system is pre-tested to assure performance reliability and is supplied ready for use.
They are available in a full range of materials including PTFE, Peek, Ryton, acrylic, and perfluoroelastomer to provide system compatibility, optimising the control of aggressive and high purity fluids.
