Low-volume microfluidic rotary valves (RVM) by AMF

AMF’s RVMs are suited for microfluidics, by design:

  • Microfluidic Valve Design: Choose from a range of valve functions (distribution, switch, On/Off) that ensure no leakage, offering superior control in microfluidic systems.
  • Wetted Material: The rotary valve’s wettedmaterial is PCTFE (for the valve head) and PTFE (valve rotor) ensuring robustness and broad chemical compatibility.
  • Channel Diameter: 500 µm to 1000 µm. The conjunction of small internal channel size with the unique AMF geometry allows it to reach extremely low internal volumes which can be as low as 600 nL*. This particular attribute optimizes your operation time, saves material (reagents, test materials and samples) and leads ultimately to reduced cost of operations for your final microfluidic application or instrument.
  • Number of Ports: up to 12 radial ports. The valve’s number of ports will give you the ability to handle multiple fluids (up to 12) within your microfluidic instrument (or detection chamber) and/or manipulate multiple fluids (sample to be tested, reagents, gases).
  • Motor Type: Decide between a fast motor for quickly switching applications and a low-power model for reduced energy consumption.

Advanced Microfluidics unique microfluidic rotary valve design:

  • Integrated sensor: the position sensor is directly integrated into the valve rotor (2) to ensure precise valve positioning and internal channel alignment between the rotor (2) and the stator (1) . An automatic procedure at power-up alerts the valve of its precise location.
  • For your motor, choose between the fast model for a port switching speed as low as 150ms (180 degrees) and the low power model to reduce power consumption for better portable device integration and smaller power supply.
  • Easy to use: the valve head (stator (1) + rotor (2)) can be easily removed and exchanged for preventive maintenance services. Our RVM is designed to be compatible with standard connectors widely used in microfluidics and beyond.

*Our unique precise valves exhibit an internal volume (port-to-port) down to 600 nL (for a 4 ports switch valves) due to their exceptionally small 0.25 mm diameter channels.
