Whether point-of-care or point-of-use, both mobile and stationary applications place particular demands on the components that are used in them. The requisite characteristics include robustness, fast switching times, high reproducibility, low power consumption and minimal heat input. Many applications – such as PCR analysis, use on pipetting arms in bioanalytics, oligo synthesis or the packaging of sensitive products – present technological challenges. The Type 6732 solenoid valve was developed with these demands in mind. It also performs exceptionally well in both life-science applications and industrial processes. The innovative actuator offers a range of advantages — including high dynamics and therefore significantly improved repeatability compared with conventional actuators. In addition, the valve enables real-time diagnostics thanks to Bürkert's "ValveInsight", providing valuable information on the current state of the process. Because it is available in such a wide range of materials, the media-separated valve is compatible with almost all liquids and gases. Type 6732 combines dosing accuracy, excellent flushability and a low internal volume in a compact, versatile valve — setting new standards in valve technology.
