What is a Solenoid Operated Micro-Pump?
The Bio-Chem Valve™ Solenoid Operated Micro-Pump
is a solenoid operated device designed to provide a precise, repeatable and discrete dispensed volume of fluid. The pumps use a flexible diaphragm to isolate the solenoid actuation mechanism from the fluid path (read more on micro-pump valve operation).
Bio-Chem Valve™ Solenoid Operated Micro-Pumps are particularly suitable for use in highly aggressive and / or high purity fluid applications such as analytical chemistry and clinical diagnostics. (Download brochure – Solenoid Operated Micro-Pumps). 
Features of the Solenoid Operated Micro-Pump:
- 12 volt or 24 volt DC solenoid
- Choice of pump style
- Threaded ports: Available dispense volumes; 20µl, 30µl, 40µl, 50µl, 60µl, 100µl, 125µl, 150µl, 175µl, 200µl, 225µl, 250µl
- Manifold mount: Available dispense volumes; 20µl, 30µl, 40µl, 50µl, 60µl
- Inert fluid path with only three wetted components (body, diaphragm and check valve) made entirely from chemically inert materials
- Choice of materials -(read more - Plastics & Polymers Reference Page)
- Body materials: PTFE, PEEK, PPS & POM
- Diaphragm materials: PTFE, EPDM
- Check valve materials: EPDM, FKM, FFKM
- Self-priming – At start-up, pumps are able to draw air. The suction created by the pumps is sufficient to pull liquids from an unpressurized container located up to 1.3m beneath the pump.

Operation

Bio-Chem Valve™ Solenoid Operated Micro-Pumps are solenoid operated device designed to provide a precise, repeatable and discrete dispensed volume of fluid.
The flow path in theSolenoid Operated Micro-Pump is isolated from the operating mechanism by a flexible diaphragm. When the solenoid is energized, the diaphragm is retracted creating a partial vacuum within the pump body. This pulls liquid through the inlet check valve (A) and simultaneously closes the outlet check valve (B). When the solenoid is de-energized a spring pushes the diaphragm down, expelling a discrete volume of liquid through check valve B while simultaneously closing check valve A.
Solenoid Operated Micro-Pumps require a complete on-off cycle for each discrete dispense. Repeatedly cycling the solenoid creates a pulsed flow. |
