12/1 rotary bidirectional microfluidic valve to perform sequential microfluidic injections—supporting automation for up to 12 liquids.

Details

MUX

Overview

Perform microfluidic sequential injection with the 12/1 Rotary Selector Bidirectional Valve.

Combined with the OB1 microfluidic pressure controller/regulator, the MUX Distribution valve will allow you to automate injection in microfluidic experiments, program perfusion experiments, sequentially apply different reagents and many more applications.

Benefits

Inject 1 sample into 12 outputs, or up to 12 samples into 1 output

Use the MUX Distribution valve to sequentially inject up 12 different solutions into 1 microfluidic line (or vice versa) for sample collections or parallel experiments.

  • Low internal volume
  • Fast switching time
  • Workflow microfluidic automation
  • Smooth switches: no disruption of the flow
  • Easy setup and operation (plug and play software + standard fluidic connection)
  • Bidirectional 13 ports/ 12 positions sequential injection from 12 different samples into 1 output/input

Key Advantages

  • Valve flexibility: 13 ports
  • Easy setup: standard ¼-28 fluidic fittings
  • Possibility to chose the sense of rotation
  • High chemical compatibility
  • Lowest internal volume: 3.5 µL
  • No dead volume
  • Switching time (average): 160 ms
  • Wetted materials: PCTFE, PTFE

 

The MUX Distribution 12/1 valve can be used in various fields of application and for any experiment that requires successive injection of fluids, such as:

  • Organic synthesis
  • Flow chemistry
  • Drug screening
  • Biochemical and electrochemical sensor calibration
  • Calibration (bench testing)
  • Sensors test rig
  • Toxicity testing
  • Seq-Fish experiments

  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
