Reduce Complexity and Simplify Your Flow Path
IDEX Health & Science has over 45 years of valve design experience. Focusing on delivering valves for long-term reliability, our valve portfolio includes multiple valve types and customizable configurations. We specialize in valve designs for the Life Science market, including diagnostics, chromatography, and biotechnology platforms.
Benefits of IDEX Health & Science Valves:
- Performance backed by comprehensive quality testing; each valve is tested before shipment
- Customized groove patterns tailored for your application
- Biocompatible material choices
- Valves with pressure ratings for applications ranging from 3-1500 bar
- Consolidation of your flow path for a simplified instrument footprint
- Included PCBs (printed circuit board) and the IDEX Health & Science Library offers fast breadboard programming powered by Python™ programming language
- Minimal delay / swept volume
Our valves offer competitive performance over the life of your instrument. We can help you with a standalone valve or a full application design with custom grooving patterns and PCB access so you can design your instrument for your specific application needs.
Specialists in Customization
Our engineers use Comsol, Cetol, Zemax, and other state-of-the-art tools to model and measure the effectiveness of the flow path before creating a valve prototype. These models can predict any problem areas in the valve, including pressure drop, diffusion, and unwanted mobile phase mixing. Design tolerances are quickly optimized, resulting in fewer prototype iterations and an optimized design that saves material lead time and valuable testing resources.
Design Excellence
Every custom-designed valve goes through our rigorous five-stage product development process. Throughout the process, we deploy tools like FMEA, DFX, tolerance analysis, PFMEA, first-article inspection, and Weibull-based lifetime testing. The result is a robust product that can be reproduced in a production environment for the life of your instrument.
