MUX Recirculation
The MUX Recirculation is a computer-controlled 6/2 rotative valve, ideal for precise sample injection and fluid recirculation.
Planning and automating long-term experiments is made easy through the dedicated Elveflow Smart Interface software.
General
With 6 inputs and two interchangeable configurations, the MUX Injection is made for injection or recirculation applications. Each input is connected to a neighbor output, either on the right or the left depending of the configuration.
- Switching time of 100 ms
- Low port-to-port volume of 660 nL
- High accuracy for reproducible injections
- Recirculate a fluid in a closed loop, or inject small volume samples in a liquid stream
- Wide chemical compatibility: wetted materials are PCTFE and PTFE
- Workflow automation using the Elveflow Smart Interface software: create sequences and integrate the MUX Injection with other Elveflow instruments
Easily controllable through the ESI software
Every settings of the MUX Recirculation can be managed from the Elveflow Smart Interface software: create sequences and programs to automate your recirculation process!

Specifications
| Port to port switching time (ms) | 180 ms |
| Max recommended pressure | 7 bar |
| Internal diameter | 0.5 mm |
| Internal volume(1) | 2.5µL |
| Carryover volume(2) | 0.5 µL |
| Dead volume (3) | None |
| Wetted materials | PCTFE, PTFE |
| Number or ports | 6 |
| Number of positions | 2 |
| Operating temperature | 5-40°C |
| Operating Humidity | 20-70% non condensingVolume inside the system from entrance to exit |
1. Volume inside the system from entrance to exit
2. Volume of liquid that will be mixed with the next liquid. It is not stuck, but will be swept next time a liquid passes.
3. Volume that is stuck in the system (dead end), which is not clearly swept and relies on diffusion to clear out
