Reliable liquid isolation valve for high precisionapplications

Clinical diagnostic instrument manufacturers face intense pressure to develop new products based on advances in diagnostic detection technologies and reduce the total cost of ownership for their customers.

The addition of the Series 058 Miniature Isolation Valves supports liquid applications requiring a reduced footprint, with comparable flow to larger footprint valve products. The size (envelope) of this 14mm miniature valve product is approximately 1/3 that of traditional 16mm fluid handling miniature valves, and the weight is reduced by 50%.

With low power consumption, less heat is transferred to thermally sensitive reagents and samples, making this direct acting solenoid valve the perfect choice when using neutral or aggressive liquids in analytical instruments. In addition, the small form-factor saves space in OEM instruments and are well-suited for portable and hand-held field devices.

The direct acting solenoid valve promises to be an ideal solution for clinical diagnostics, DNA sequencing, liquid chromatography, and sample preparation applications and has a lifetime rating of 10 million cycles, making it ideal to withstand your instruments expected lifetime. See the Series 058 at Emerson Booth #849.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis.

Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.AACCThe American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) Annual Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo is the largest meeting for clinical laboratory professionals in the world. This year's meeting is being held in Atlanta, USA, July 26th-30th, 2015.In Vitro DiagnosticsIn vitro diagnostics (IVD) involve testing samples outside the body, typically in a laboratory, to diagnose diseases or conditions. IVD technologies include blood tests, molecular assays, and other bodily fluid tests, enabling accurate diagnosis and monitoring of diseases. These tests are essential for guiding treatment decisions in clinical settings. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best IVD solutions; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Liquid HandlingLiquid handling involves the precise transfer, mixing, and dispensing of liquids in laboratory settings. It is essential for accurate and consistent results in biological, chemical, and pharmaceutical research. Automated liquid handling systems improve efficiency and reduce human error in sample preparation and analysis.
