Description

Valve heads for rotary valves are available with up to 12 port connections and are suitable for sample collection, sample loop injection, for the selection or blocking of a flow path.

The valve housing is made of PCTFE, which offers high chemical resistance and good strength. The plunger is made of PTFE, which has the same chemical properties as the valve housing. Precise channels with only 0.5mm allow smallest internal volume of 2.32 - 2.84 µl (from connection to connection - depending on the configuration) and also a low carry over volume of 0.55 - 1.07 µl (from connection to connection - depending on configuration). The valve heads are dead volume free and can be integrated into the fluidic application on the ¼-28 UNF threads.

These valve heads are suitable for the P200-O and P201-O rotary valves.
