Pulssar pumps offer high accuracy and can support aggressive liquids
Boonton, NJ (October 25, 2012) – Bio-Chem Fluidics’ new line of OEM piston pumps offer maintenance-free operation without syringes. The new Bio-Chem Fluidics/ Pulssar series of pumps is designed for applications involving aggressive and abrasive liquids, offering guaranteed lifespans of more than 15 million cycles without any decrease in precision or accuracy.
The new Bio-Chem Fluidics/ Pulssar piston pumps.
The new pumps automate diluting, pipetting and dispensing by using a variety of piston sizes. They offer very high resolutions and piston driving forces, giving users the ability to perform more functions like rinsing.
All models are fully Cavro™ XP 3000 and XCalibur compatible. Pulssar pumps offer less than one percent deviation from expected accuracy rate at full stroke.

Valves eliminate need for tubing sets to connect individual valves
Boonton, NJ (July 27, 2012) – Bio-Chem Valve™ Flow Selection Valves reduce the number of connections and potential leak points in flow mixing and selection for highly aggressive and high purity fluid applications. Flow Selection Valves combine multiple valve actuators into a single compact unit around a central block, allowing mixing or selection of any combination of between two and eight individual source streams.
Bio-Chem Fluidics’ Flow Selection Valves for highly aggressive and high purity applications.
Flow Selection Valves use a flexible diaphragm that isolates the solenoid actuator from the fluid path. All wetted parts are constructed from highly inert, non-metallic materials such as PTFE or PEEK. Flow Selection Valves are available in a range of orifice sizes from 0.032” to 0.125”, and power ratings from two to eight watts.
Valves feature a radial manifold block, eliminating the differences in flow path length and timing found in linear manifolds. Each solenoid actuator is individually adjusted by the manufacturer to ensure equal flow rates at the same pressure.

Highly efficient solenoid valve ensures minimal heat generation
Boonton, NJ (April 27, 2012) – Bio-Chem Fluidics’ new range of 038T Isolation Mini-Valves provides a completely inert, non-metallic path for highly aggressive and/ or high purity fluids. The valves are designed for use in analytical chemistry and clinical diagnostic applications involving extremely low flow rates.
The 038T2B and 038T2S Isolation Mini-Valves from Bio-Chem Fluidics.
The new range of Mini-Valves includes the 038T2B (bottom-ported) and 038T2S (side-ported) normally-closed valves with ¼- 28 UNF threaded ports. 038T Mini-Valves use a custom designed, high efficiency solenoid that consumes only two watts at 12 or 24 VDC for minimal heat generation.
Fluid contact is restricted to the valve body and the flexible diaphragm, both constructed from highly inert polymers, allowing non-contact parts to be sourced economically from standard components. The valves offer bi-directional flow, and are also available in a manifold mount configuration.

Bio-Chem Fluidics’ valves offer lower pressure drop than conventional mixing valves
Boonton, NJ (July 11, 2011) – Delivering unobstructed, inert fluid paths with high flow rates and low dead volumes, Bio-Chem Fluidics offers the RV-Series of Electric Rotary Valves. The series features three different models for easy integration into OEM systems.
Bio-Chem Fluidics’ electric rotary valves for OEM systems.
Designed for applications such as sample collection, loop injection or flow path selection, the series of valves provides a lower pressure drop than conventional solenoid mixing valves. Each model’s ¼”- 28 UNF fluid port connections and flow configurations were designed to match the industry standard most commonly found in existing systems. All valves use a unique PTFE fluid path for maximum compatibility with aggressive solvents.
The RV-Series includes three different models to match customers’ needs. The most basic model, the RV-E, includes only the valve head assembly for use with a system’s preexisting stepper motors. The RV-SN includes its own two-phase, hybrid stepper motor, and the RV-SC features the same stepper motor with an intelligent motor controller and driver.
