New miniature liquid valve from Parker Hannifin

March 2015 Valves, Actuators & Pump Control

The Precision Fluidics Division of Parker Hannifin has announced the release of its newest Diaphragm Isolation Liquid Valve. This 6,4 mm diaphragm isolation valve improves performance of clinical diagnostic and analytical chemistry systems that require precision fluid, plus it delivers liquid dispense performance in a very small package. At just 6,4 mm wide it can be easily mounted over microplates improving performance and saving space. When mounted on a manifold the R6’s ultra-small footprint enables smaller and more efficient fluidic circuits by taking less space and shortening fluid channels. The R6 provides solutions to today’s demanding analytical, clinical and agent detection applications.

The new R6 valve enables OEMs to design fluid circuits that take less space and are more efficient. Its compact footprint enables it to be mounted as close as 7 mm centres, ideal for applications such as in- vitro diagnostics, haematology, molecular diagnostics, flow cytometry, genomics, proteomics, liquid hand-ling, sample preparation, chromatography and precision flow control.

With this expanded portfolio, Parker can provide the pumps and valves needed across today’s laboratory instrumentation, including sampling, reagent addition, wash, waste and decontamination sub systems.
