Guide to biocompatible valve solutions for life science instrumentation
Biotech Fluidics provides a wide range of biocompatible rotary valves for liquid management within precision fluidic systems for life science applications. Whether your application demands salt solutions, fast cycle times, or zero carryover, Biotech Fluidics has a proven valve solution, manufactured by IDEX Health & Science and tested to millions of cycles, ensuring maximum system uptime.
A single valve enables the discrete distribution of up to 24 system buffers, reagents, or wash solutions, simplifying the flow selection pathway and ensuring precise fluid delivery. In addition to providing cost savings by simplified fluidic constructions, Biotech Fluidics valving solutions offer low swept volume and eliminate reagent carryover concerns. Additional benefits of these biocompatible valves include that they enable the use of air gaps for segmented flow applications, are compatible with magnetic beads and eliminate pumping pulsation inherent in some fluidic control devices.
Meticulously designed to ensure precise gear movement, Biotech Fluidics biocompatible valves provide robust actuation and years of maintenance-free operation. Controlled using smart closed-loop control logic allows instrument designers to track the valve positioning in the system, whether you control actuation by RS232, I2C, or UART.
