The membrane valve chip Fluidic 1367 features 16 identical channels and olive interfaces, enabling direct connection to a pump system via tubing.
Each channel has an integrated membrane valve structure at the inlet, right below the olive interface, that can be controlled separately via a valve actuator. The membrane valve is normally open, allowing fluid to pass. Applying force from below with a mechanical actuator will lead to the closure of the valve, thereby stopping the flow. The chip can be powered with liquids or gases, and the valves remain tight up to a maximum inlet pressure of 3 bar.
Matching valve actuators are available from the company memetis.
