The  high-pressure switching valve is designed for chromatographic and general laboratory fluid management applications. The valve is engineered for flexible flow switching at different flow rates. 

It can be used for OEM applications or as a stand-alone device for different flow switching applications.
The valve is an alternative for manual injection in a high pressure stream or for switching of low and high pressure flows for chromatography and other similar applications. Several rotor and stator configurations are available

Applications:

• column switching
• solvent selector
• injector of samples
• sample cleaning

Available custom options

This Valve is available as OEM unit without enclosure with different mounting options.
High-flow version of the valve (preparative) is available which can allow flow rates up to 10 ml/min and a max pressure up to 2000 psi.
Metal-free version of the valve is available.
RS232 (via USB) is communication protocol for device operation. 
Simple PC based software for the valve operation is available.
