2/2 Bistable Microvalve
- Product SKU: MM-22-BISTABLE-PEEK
- Category: Memetis, Microfluidic Valves, Pumps & Flow Controllers, Shape-memory Alloy Valves
This 2/2 bistable valve is made for lab-on-chip integration: it is utra-compact (total footprint of 20 mm), with an internal volume of less than 4 µL.
The bistable valve is either controllable with your own controller, or with the Electrical Control Unit.
Memetis miniature valves are based on a shape-memory alloy in an ultra-compact housing, allowing completely silent operation in various environments, from microfluidic chips to incubators.
- Bistable valve: extremely low power consumption
- PEEK housing
- Media-separated valve to avoid cross-contaminations
- Very low internal volume (< 4 µL)
- Ultra compact, reusable and biocompatible: ideal for on-chip integration
- Noiseless system
- Easy-to-use and easy to install to your microfluidic plateform
- The slow switching process makes it particularly suitable for applications that react sensitively to fast flow movements
Tip: Use the Memetis Fluidic Adapter for convenient connection to your microfluidic system, without further customization! The Electrical Control Unit for bistable valve is also available to easily control your valve.
