2/2 Way Microfluidic Whisper Valve Type 6712
- Product SKU: BU-267651
- Category: Bürkert, Microfluidic Valves, Solenoid Valves
A compact microfluidic solenoid valve combining an internal volume of only 5 µL (incl. connectors), small dimensions and quiet switching with a response time of only 1 ms, for almost zero unused fluid and a reduced chance of contamination.
A separating diaphragm between the fluid and actuator gives maximum chemical resistance, making this valve a premium for a wide range of laboratory, medical and analysis applications.
Comes in a 2-way normally closed valve setup, with an optional 1/4-28 UNF manifold for easier connection.
The Bürkert 6712 whisper valve was developed for applications where compactness, precision at low flows, and reliability are required.
- 2/2 way normally closed valve, 24V DC
- Ultra-compact size (width 7 mm) and low dead volume of only 5 µL (including connections)
- Response time of less than 1 ms for opening and closing
- Quiet switching of 36 dB(A) for sensitive environments
- Two versions: PEEK body with FFKM (Kalrez) seal or EPDM seal for wide chemical compatibility. Choose the second version if working with fluorinated oils.
- For easier connection, the valve can be connected to a standard 1/4-28 UNF manifold in PEEK
Benefits
Maximum precision
In the world of microfluidics, precision and reproducibility are must-haves. Bürkert microvalves have been able to meet these demands through innovation solutions and precise manufacturing standards to provide devices that are both high performance and long-lasting. Control dosing volume with the utmost precision with a switching speed of 1 ms.
Droplet generation
Create microfluidic droplets without the complicated flow control thanks to the high frequency switching that this valve is capable of.
Excellent cleanability
Cross-contamination can be a serious issue in microfluidics, particularly when working with biological media. Thanks to their low dead volume designs, optimized flow paths, and precision molding, Bürkert has ensured that their microvalves are easily cleanable. Utilizing a diaphragm to separate the media from the actuation mechanism, this valve maintains this commitment to cleanability.
Low internal volume
When material costs are high, they should be used more efficiently. By minimizing the internal volume of their valves, Burkert not only improves their cleanability, but also facilitates the most efficient use of precious fluid resources. This microvalve is second to none, with a total internal volume of only 5 µL, for applications where material costs are high and the utmost precision and efficiency are needed.
Outstanding chemical resistance
Whether you're working with strong acids, concentrated solvents, or cell suspensions, Burkert microvalves are manufactured in close concert with their chemical laboratories to ensure their materials are being used to ensure chemical resistance in the most critical of applications. With three versions with PEEK body and FFKM seal or PPS body and EPDM seal, this valve is second to none in terms of chemical compatibility.
Low heat transfer to the medium
By keeping the actuating solenoid and the fluid chamber separate in their microvalves, Bürkert minimizes the uncontrolled heat transfer into the fluid medium. Additionally, low microvalve power consumption helps reduce heat production.
