May 04 2021 As a fluid control engineer, you know there is no room for error in clinical laboratory environments. Emerson knows this too, that’s why their latest valve has been designed specifically to meet the needs of laboratory applications. The ASCO™ Series 038 miniature solenoid valves offer isolated fluid control and are designed for use with neutral or aggressive liquids in clinical diagnostic instruments. With a width of only 5.7mm, and a weight of 4g, they are ideal for saving space in complex clinical laboratory instruments with dispensing applications. Built with high quality materials such as a PEEK body and FFKM seal materials, the Series 038 miniature solenoid isolation valve can handle practically any type of reagent. A low dead volume of 0.75µL and overall internal volume of only 1.2µL reduces reagent waste and improves the effectivity of cleaning steps between test cycles. A latching electrical coil version is available to minimise heat transfer to thermally sensitive samples and reagents, resulting in instrument efficiency and accuracy.
