Pinch valves take on aggressive liquids
A new range of inert, wide aperture, nonsticking pinch valves provides precise control of liquid and gas flow in medical and analytical equipment.
Bio-Chem Valve has designed a range of inert, wide aperture, nonsticking pinch valves for the precise control of liquid and gas flow in medical and analytical equipment The solenoid operated valves feature unusually durable, nonstick silicone tubing developed by Bio-Chem, and the valve design enables the tubing to be easily removed and replaced, eliminating the need for disassembly or removal of the valve from the equipment

Miniature isolation valves for hazardous fluids
Bio-Chem Valve has developed inert, perfluoroelastomer miniature isolation valves for the handling of aggressive, particulate-laden and high purity fluids in scientific and medical equipment.
For use with aggressive, particulate-laden solvents, corrosives, reagents and other liquids, the valves are available in normally closed or normally open position, or in a three-way configuration for fluid stream switching.
The specially designed, chemically resistant silicone tubing eliminates the sticking and clogging of fluids, and may extend the normal preventive maintenance cycle to approach the life of the machine.
If switching or replacement of tubing is required it can easily be slid out from the valve.
Available in a range of sizes, the valves can accommodate tubing with inside diameters from 0.81 to 7.95mm.
They feature zero dead volume, low power consumption, a high cycle life, and a fast response time.
Customised modifications are available on request.
