Main features & benefits
- No overpressure Switch between 2 flow configurations in less than 180ms, thanks to the use of a fast & precise valve motor
- Biocompatible High chemical compatibility, PCTFE and PTFE material can be used with organic solvent.
- No waste No dead volume & low carryover volume (0.5µL), for the best solution usage efficiency.
- Easy ¼-28 connection allows for a leak-free operation and quick connection using standard fittings
- Reproducibility & Reliability Perform identical injections over and over
