Biotek Valve Module Fluidic Component

• Used in automated microplate washing systems for precise fluid control.
• Integrated into liquid handling robots for accurate reagent dispensing and aspiration.
• Essential for laboratory automation workflows requiring controlled fluidic pathways.
• Suitable for pharmaceutical research and diagnostic testing environments.

Typical flow rate

Typically designed for low to medium flow rates suitable for microplate applications.

Operating pressure

Commonly operates within a pressure range suitable for laboratory fluidic systems, often between 0.5 to 5 bar.

Valve type

For this class of equipment, it typically features solenoid-actuated valves for rapid and precise switching.

Fluidic connections

Commonly equipped with standard laboratory tubing connections, such as Luer lock or barbed fittings.

Control interface

Units of this type typically integrate with a host system via electrical signals for valve actuation.

Materials in contact with fluid

Typically constructed from chemically resistant plastics or stainless steel suitable for various laboratory reagents.

• What is a Biotek Valve Module?

  A Biotek Valve Module is a fluidic component designed to control the flow of liquids within automated laboratory systems, particularly microplate washers and liquid handlers. It manages the opening and closing of fluid pathways.

• Is this module compatible with all Biotek systems?

• What maintenance does a valve module typically require?

• Can this unit be used for applications other than microplate washing?

• What should I consider when buying a used valve module?

Pneumatic units for liquid handling are valued for their reliability, safety in sterile environments, and low maintenance demands. Buyers typically prioritize checking for air leaks, hose condition, and valve responsiveness when purchasing used equipment. Industry feedback highlights their durability and cost effectiveness compared to electric alternatives. Key considerations include compatibility with existing systems, calibration history, and whether regulators remain accurate. These units perform consistently across laboratory and pharmaceutical applications when properly maintained.
