Bio-Chem rocker valves

As rocker valves are fast becoming the standard for many OEM instrument manufacturers seeking reliable fluid handling in a small space, the Opus rocker valve from Bio-Chem offers a more stable and durable solution that sets a new standard in modern fluidics.

No other rocker valve achieves such a high flow rate (0.04 Cv) with such a small footprint (10 mm) or internal fluid volume (35 µl) as the Opus rocker valve.

Opus even offers the best width-to-Cv ratio of all available rocker valves. Opus generates a flow equal to that of larger 16 mm competing valves and delivers greater efficiency at a fraction of the size. The compact 10 mm footprint of Opus offers a significant additional benefit: less internal fluid volume and dead carryover volume. Opus takes major steps towards the ultimate goal of zero dead volume, significantly reducing both the consumption of expensive reagents and the additional costs of productivity loss associated with maintenance and cleaning, while improving overall efficiency and profitability.
