The Membrane valve chip - Fluidic 1367 is a microfluidic device offering precision multichannel fluid management. It features a total volume capacity defined by its 16 identical channels, each with individual volume selection and isolated channel control via membrane valves. With 16 channels and controllable, normally open membrane valve inlets, this chip enables direct connection to pump systems for reliable, high-throughput fluid or gas switching operations.
General
The membrane valve chip Fluidic 1367 features 16 identical channels and olive interfaces, enabling direct connection to a pump system via tubing. Each channel has an integrated membrane valve structure at the inlet, right below the olive interface, that can be controlled separately via a valve actuator. The membrane valve is normally open, allowing fluid to pass. Applying force from below with a mechanical actuator will lead to the closure of the valve, thereby stopping the flow. The chip can be powered with liquids or gases, and the valves remain tight up to a maximum inlet pressure of 3 bar. Matching valve actuators are available from the company memetis.
Features & Benefits
- 16 Individual Channels: Each channel operates on its own, allowing for precise and simultaneous fluid or gas management across multiple applications.
- Membrane Valve Actuation: The built-in normally open membrane valve structure under each inlet lets users instantly start or stop fluid or gas flow using a mechanical actuator.
- Wide Chemical Compatibility: The chip body and lid materials offer compatibility with many laboratory fluids and gases. This increases reliability and repeat use.
- Pressure Tightness: Valves perform up to 3 bar inlet pressure while staying leak-tight under normal use.
- Easy Pump System Integration: Olive interfaces connect directly to standard tubing, making it easy to set up in most laboratory fluidic systems.
This microfluidic valve chip is designed for precise and reliable multi-channel flow management. Its direct pump system integration means less setup time and fewer errors in experimental workflows. The transparent Topas construction allows for clear interior inspection. Control over individual channels ensures minimal cross-contamination and precise fluid delivery.
Olive-type interfaces make tubing connections secure and fast. Actuated membrane valves change the flow state quickly and reproducibly, which is crucial for automated laboratory, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing systems. This chip is also suitable for both liquid and gas applications, delivering flexibility for research, measurement, and device testing.
Applications
This chip is ideal for selective multi-fluidic routing, sample preparation, or switching tasks in research, diagnostics, or industrial laboratories. It is suitable for high-throughput analysis, assay automation, device development, and gas or liquid delivery switching in controlled environments.
- Automated laboratory testing and liquid handling
- Flow control in microfluidics research
- Switching gas or liquid inputs in experiments
