Redesigned Miniature Valve Technology Sets Standards For Size & Performance In Laboratory, Analysis & Medical Engineering

Redesigned Miniature Valve Technology Sets Standards For Size & Performance In Laboratory, Analysis & Medical Engineering

Isolated miniature solenoid valves (IMSV) that provide maximum power from a minimum sized envelope are the current demand of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the field of laboratory and analysis technology, and also medical engineering. In clinical diagnostics, flow-rate and reliability are essential, while cleanliness is given top priority. In automated analytics, standard procedures such as titration, defined sampling and the precise dosage of reagents, based on integrated fluid control systems, require pinpoint precision and repeatability. In addition, manufacturers and users, when opting for a certain type of IMSV, also consider cost, wetted material type, cleanability, dosage capacity and flushing characteristics of the valve.
