Bistable Microvalve
Features of the bistable microvalve
The bistable microvalve with PEEK fluidic part has many features, including:
- 2/2-way functionality
- media-separated
- only requires power to switch between the open and closed state (bistable)
- ultra-compact design
- low internal volume
- ultra-low power consumption - even battery operation is possible
- no heat development due to bistable functionality
Low internal volume
As the bistable valve only requires power to switch between the open and closed state, it can save a lot of power and does not produce heat while open/ close.
Biocompatible materials
The valve is media separated and the fluid only gets in contact with the biocompatible materials PEEK and silicone.
Low internal volume
Reagents can be saved due to an internal volume of less than 4µl.
Why is our bistable microvalve especially energy-efficient?
The bistable microvalve is in particular power saving, because it only requires power to switch between the open and close state. Both positions can be held without requiring current. The switching takes less than 0.5 J of power.Thereby even battery-operation becomes possible.
See the scheme of our bistable valve in the picture on the right. The shape memory alloy actuators move the plunger in the middle to both positions (open and close).

Accessories Recommendation
Fluidic adapters for immediate valve testing
To integrate the valve in a system, two screw holes and a fluidic in- and outlet are required.
If you don't want to design the flange-mount connection and want to start testing the valve immediately, we recommend using one of our fluidic adapters.
You can connect LUER, IDEX fittings or tubes directly.
Valve controllers
The valves need to be current-controlled. That is why we recommend using our electronic control units for testing.
We offer two types of electronic control units:
If you decide to work with memetis valves in your application, we are happy to support you with implementing the valve control in your own electronics.
