L-Switch

6-PORT/2-POSITION BIDIRECTIONAL INJECTION
The L-Switch™ is a bidirectional 6-port / 2 position valve for injection or switching different fluids. It’s configuration make it ideal for recirculation in cell culture.

MAIN BENEFITS
• Easy to setup and use
• Compact
• Chemically and biologically compatible (wetted materials: PEEK)

Working principle
• The L-SWITCH™ is a 6-port / 2-position injection valve: Peripheral ports (numbered from 1 to 6) can alternatively be connected the right or the left neighbor.
• The L-SWITCH™ is actuated by a motor that drives a rotor – where the fluidic path is engraved – against a stator – hosting the fluidic ports.

Fluid recirculation
• The ESS™ L-SWITCH™ can be used as a useful cell culture tool: a small volume of buffer can be recirculated within a closed loop into the chip for several hours or days. Combined with our MFCS™-EZ it can achieve a highly stable flow with a positive impact on the shear stress.

Fluid injection
• The ESS™ L-SWITCH™ valve enables you to load and inject a precise volume of fluid. By selecting the position of the L-SWITCH™ you will choose when you want to load the fluid then inject it (using a sample loop).
• Several sample loops are available from 5 µL to 100 µL.
