Fluidic “point-of-care” applications, such as dialysis or artificial respiration, and “point-of-use” applications, such as at pipetting arms in biological analysis, present special requirements. The media-separated Whisper Valve Type 6712 was developed for precisely these applications. It sets new benchmarks particularly with low switching noise and excellent cleanability. The Type 6712 is also the first choice in industrial applications, such as inkjet printers. The valve’s modular design and available material variants means that it can be used with practically all liquids and gases in the fields of life sciences and industrial applications. This is a valve that combines dosing accuracy and cleanability.
