We offer a comprehensive selection of solenoid-operated control valves designed to withstand the aggressively corrosive fluids with which biomedical instruments frequently come in contact. Examples of such fluids are...

• human blood and biofluids
• lye
• bleach
• formaldehyde
• saline solutions
• citric acid
• ethyl and methyl alcohols
• ethylene glycol

The solenoid in our inert isolation valves is isolated from the particular medium by means of a diaphragm. Those parts of the valve coming in contact with the medium are made of inert materials such as...

• PEEK (polyetheretherketone), polyethermide, or polyphenylsulfone for the structural components
• EPDM or fluorosilicone for the elastomers

 Our inert isolation valve designs include...

• 2-way normally closed
• 2-way normally open
• 3-way universal line mount
• 2-way normally closed manifold mount

For complex systems containing many valves, we offer customized manifolds into which our inert isolation valves can be inserted. The custom design significantly reduces the number of tube connections and potential leak points. In turn, you have less downtime and fewer service calls. Valve replacement is quick and simple, too. We deliver these manifolded sub-systems ready for installation.

Other features of our inert isolation valves include...

• a maximum standard pressure of 35 psig [2.4 bar]
• flow rates of up to 1,150 ml/min of water or similar fluid, up to 34 slpm of air or similar gas
• coil encapsulation that protects the valve from corrosive external fluid exposure
• suitability for high fluid temperatures up to 230°F (110°C)
• a robust design that's been qualification tested to beyond 20-million cycles
