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 power consumption
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).
