Bio-Chem valve has developed non-metallic, self-sealing in-line check valves for handling low volume, low flow transfers. The inert Bio-Chek™ in-line check valves are available in the UK and Europe from Omnifit. They prevent unintended liquid back-flow in high purity, low pressure fluid transfer applications and feature an even flow path that reduces passage complications. The zero-maintenance valves are available in an inlet or outlet configuration and applications include syringe pump systems, vacuum systems and other low-flow processes. The valves connect to a standard 1/4 – 28 port and fitting, and provide a flow rate equivalent to a 0.76mm orifice, a cracking pressure less than 0.24bar and checks against back-flow pressure to 6.89 bar. Bio-Chem offers manufacturers of scientific and medical equipment a variety of check element materials including EPDM, Viton®, and perfluoroelastomer. PEEK and PPS are offered as housing materials.
