Plug valve Fluigent 2-X

manualsamplingliquids

The 2-X is a compact 3-port/2-way microfluidic valve. Using standard fittings, it can be integrated into any fluidic system. *Compact Designed for parallelization *Quick Actuation and response time *Accurate Low internal volume *Automation Fully automated with in house software or SDK libraries Features Fluid switching and sampling The 2-X can be used for fluid switching or sampling depending on the direction of flow. When 2 liquids are coming into the valve, select which to deliver to your device. Alternately, one liquid can be driven into selected parts of a setup for sampling/sorting. ON/OFF flow The 2-X is a versatile device that can be very easily adapted into an on/off valve (2-port / 2-position) by connecting a plug to one port (other than the common port). Time-based automation The valve can be controlled by using Fluigent software for long-term operations. Create a time-based protocol to set actuation timing of the valve(s). Suited for many applications Its versatility makes it ideal for applications where fluid sorting, switching or periodic sampling is required such as fluid sorting. Parallelize and combine valves The specific design of the valve allows one to combine several together with a minimum of space requirement. Added to the automation software, one can easily create multiple fluidic paths. At the upstream of the microfluidic device, 2-X are used for each inlet as on/off switches. In order to choose which reagent will be injected into the mixing chip. At the downstream of the chip, 2-X is used as a 2-way switch to easily sort the exiting flow and recover only the sample that you want.
