Bio-Chem Valve has introduced a more compact version of its solenoid-operated pivot valve for controlling high purity or aggressive fluids. The 039H Series miniature manifold-mounted solenoid pivot valve is available in the UK and Europe from Omnifit. It has the same footprint as the 079H Series, but the smaller solenoid allows it to be mounted directly side-by-side, reducing the centre-to-centre dimension from 22.2mm to 12.7mm. Like the 079H Series, the new 039H Series valve is designed for use in medical and laboratory instrumentation. It comes in 2-way and 3-way manifold mountable configurations which share an identical footprint, allowing interchangeable installation. The valve also features a precise, dual pivot diaphragm mechanism which allows low internal volume, minimising carryover during precision mixing or dispensing. The pivot valve is available as a standard product or customised to address specific applications. Wetted material choices include EPDM, Viton, or perfluoroelastomer for the diaphragm and PPS, PEEK, or Tefzel for the body material. Bio-Chem Valve also offers customised manifolds in conjunction with the valve.
