Clippard recently launched its NIV Series media isolation valve.
The valve is a solenoid-operated device that uses a flexible diaphragm to isolate the actuation mechanism from the fluid path. Media isolation valves are commonly used for a wide variety of applications, including those that require precise, repeatable dispensing of media for analytical instrumentation.
All wetted areas of the valve are either PEEK or PTFE, making the series ideal for use with corrosive media. A unique feature of the NIV Series is the one-piece valve stem that functions as a sealing membrane while also supporting and centralizing the poppet in the seating area. This multifunctional poppet/diaphragm/stem results in a simplified design with fewer parts (only two for the two-way and three for the three-way), longer life, and zero dead volume. Choose from four orifice sizes available as two-way normally-closed, two-way normally-open, or three-way selector/diverter.
Industries and applications that commonly use these types of valves to isolate gas or liquid include drug dispensing, laboratory equipment, analytical, chemical analysis, sampling, life science/biotech, genetic research, gas chromatography, spectrometry, DNA synthesizing, blood analyzing, printing, diagnostic equipment, fermentation, and water treatment.
