Microfluidics valves

Microfluidic smart valves

Smart valves can be independently or simultaneously controlled through Elveflow’s software interface (ESI). The ESI automatically detects the valves when connected to the Mux Wire V3 valve controller.

Three 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 defines the flow path and can have two states by default: normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) state.

The V3 range offers three types of valves:

• 2 ports / 2 positions Normally Open (NO)
• 2 ports / 2 positions Normally Close (NC)
• 3 ports / 2 positions

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.

Control your valve via the mux wire

The MUX Wire version 3 (V3)  valve controller can control up to eight valves in your setup. The valves can be independently or simultaneously controlled through the Elveflow Smart Interface (ESI).

It is possible to control the valves manually via the push button on top of the valve. This way, the system works in a standalone mode, without the ESI or a computer!
