SMART VALVES

Smart valves can be independently or simultaneously controlled through Elveflow’s software interface (ESI). The ESI automatically detects these valves once plugged into the Mux Wire.

Three microfluidic valve models are available. The valve model relates to the supported pressure – high pressure (until 6 bars), low pressure (until 3 bars), and low volume (for low internal volume requirements).

The valve type indicates the flow path and the normally open (NO) or closed (NC) state of the valve. The V3 range offers three types of valves: 2/2 NO, 2/2 NC, and 3/2 valves.

The combination of valve models and valve types gives different possibilities to fulfill specific setup requirements.

Elveflow’s smart valves have been carefully selected for their convenience and performance to suit most microfluidic applications. Our valves provide 20ms or less switching time, low internal volume, high chemical compatibility, and no disruption flow.

It is possible to power the MUX wire, plug valves, and control them manually via the push button on the valve. This way, the system works in a standalone mode, without the ESI or a computer!

The 3/2 way valve is ideal for bidirectional control:  it can be used to choose between two inlets and one outlet or one inlet and two outlets.
