Streamline Your Complex Reagent Flow Path
Streamline your complex reagent flow path with a custom rotary shear valve and integrated manifold assembly. Fully customizable rotor seals and stator materials provide the flexibility to design for cost and optimal performance. A high reagent port count offers significant cost and space savings compared to a bank of solenoid valves.
With over 45 years of experience in rotary shear valves, we work with you to create custom solutions for reagent selection.
