The Advanced Rotavalve Recirculation is a microfluidic 6-port / 2-position valve. It allows the recirculation of fluid in a closed loop. With no dead volume, wetted materials featuring high bio and chemical compatibility and one of the fastest switching speeds available on the market, the Rotavalve is the key ingredient for efficient and long-term cell culture experiments.
Its compact form factor, its robust casing and its fixation points make it ideal for mechanical integration.
Its high-speed serial connection is compatible with both any serial controllers and the Advanced Control Center for large and complex microfluidic systems.

FAQ
What is the typical set of instruments for a recirculation experiment?
Combined with an Advanced Pressure Controller and the Advanced Control Center, the Rotavalve Recirculation allows medium recirculation, keeping the direction of the flow unilateral. Using the capabilities of the Advanced Control Center, wide options for automation are available. Adding a MFS flow sensor in the system allows to control the flow rate with great accuracy.
What are the most common applications for the Rotavalve Recirculation module?
The Advanced Rotavalve Recirculation is a powerful device for dynamic cell culture. As a consequence, it can be used for organ-on-a-chip studies, stem cell assays, toxicity tests, drug testing, cell response to a medium change, and many more.
Is the Rotavalve Recirculation compatible with solutions containing suspended particles?
We do not recommend the use of solutions containing suspended particles with the Advanced Rotavalve Recirculation, as this can lead to leaks at the valve head. We recommend filtering solutions with 10µm filters.
Can the module be easily integrated into a more complete prototype?
Installation of the Rotavalve in a more complete prototype is facilitated thanks to its own fixation points. The module can then be held in position and no preferred mounting orientation is necessary, ensuring a high degree of freedom.
