Manufacturer Description
The Gilson Valvemate II is a high-precision, microprocessor-controlled valve actuator designed to automate fluid switching in HPLC and analytical flow systems. When coupled with the Vici Cheminert 09S-0022H injection valve, this system provides a robust, programmable interface for automatic sample loading and switching. The Valvemate II allows for external control via standard laboratory automation protocols, enabling seamless integration into complex chromatography workflows. The included Vici Cheminert valve is an industry-standard 6-port, 2-position injector known for its exceptional chemical compatibility and leak-free performance, making this assembly the ideal choice for reliable, repeatable fluidic automation.
Technical Specifications
- Actuator Model: Gilson Valvemate II Controller
- Valve Assembly: Vici Cheminert 09S-0022H (6-Port, 2-Position Injection Valve)
- Control Interface: Contact closure and serial communication (for remote activation)
- Actuation Mechanism: High-torque stepper drive for precise valve switching and alignment
- Material Compatibility: Stainless steel fluid paths (standard HPLC solvent resistance)
- Electrical Requirements: 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz (Universal power input)
- Value-Add: Pre-aligned mechanical coupling ensures accurate port-to-port registration, eliminating the common "dead-volume" errors caused by improper valve installation or manual alignment.
System Compatibility
This unit is designed for direct integration with professional analytical instrumentation:
- Gilson Systems: Compatible with classic Gilson liquid handlers and injectors (e.g., 215, 231, 233 series).
- HPLC Platforms: Can be triggered by virtually any HPLC system capable of sending a "contact closure" or relay signal for valve switching.
- Flow Path: Uses standard 10-32 fittings common to almost all modern chromatography equipment.
Applications
Essential for automating critical laboratory fluidic processes:
- HPLC Sample Injection: Automating the "Load" and "Inject" steps in high-pressure liquid chromatography.
- Flow Injection Analysis: Precise, timed routing of samples into an analytical stream.
- Multi-Stream Sampling: Switching between different sample sources or calibration standards in continuous monitoring systems.
- Automated Synthesis: Redirecting reagents or solvent streams in custom micro-reactor assemblies.
