A leading manufacturer of valves, pumps and manifolds― Takasago Electric, Inc.

                              Up to 180°C & 800 kPa

・Employs a unique mechanism to absorb the dimensional changes of the plastic body caused by temperature changes. No leakage with high temperature fluids.

・Most suitable for the case sulfuric acid is heated for COD Measurement.

・An elastomer is employed for the seal material, reducing damage to the valve seat by foreign matters in the fluid and associated leakage problem.

For Sample Injection or Metering in a LC

Features

This is the first solenoid-driven linearly-actuating valve that realises the same functions as a motor-driven rotary valve. As it is solenoid-driven, a stepper motor or a driver is not required.　It is economical and easy to operate, comparing to the conventional rotary valve.

We will exhibit our very small - sized products at MicroTAS 2011 held 3 - 6 October, 2011 at The Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, USA. MicroTAS 2011 is a premier international forum for microfluidic systems, nanotechnology, etc. We hope to see you at our booth #4 at the exhibition.

===============A Wide Range of Microfluidic Devices ===============

Although the miniaturisation of fluidic chips is progressing in the field of "Microfluidics," the miniaturisation of peripheral devices to provide fluids to these chips, such as pumps, valves, etc. is still insufficient. We have been endeavoring to realise the miniaturisation of these components and assist in reducing the size of the system as a whole using our techniques cultivated as a leading manufacturer of valves and pumps. Accordingly, the following very small devices will be exhibited.

1. Micro Peristaltic Pump
2. Micro Needle Valve
3. Pen-Type Syringe Pump - Micro-step version
4. Solenoid-driven 2-Position 6-Port Switching Valve
5. Highly Inert Piezoelectric Micro Pump

The Quaternary Valve is a kind of manifold valve where due to its structure the four channels from the valves all join at one point and connect to the common port (the central port of the product in the above picture). The lengths of the four channels are the same and the flow rate of each is almost identical. This structure is designed to maintain a high accuracy of the mixing ratio of multiple liquids. The product is often used to mix several kinds of eluant gradually in a low pressure gradient unit in a liquid chromatograph. In addition, it can be used to mix chemical liquids accurately or to dispense equal amounts of one kind of liquid.

Moulded 3-way PKV series valve now available

Features

φ4-6mm is its orifice diameter, which enables it to be used in a wide-range of fluid control applications for various kinds of analysis, IVD diagnostics, medical, and other life science instruments, etc., which necessitate such large orifice.  An elastomer is employed for the seal material, reducing damage to the valve seat by foreign matters in the fluid and the associated leak trouble.

The Piezoelectric Micro Pump is a product that is currently gathering great amount of attention. It is small-sized, slim (25 × 25 × 4.8 mm) and lightweight (approximately 4 g) in comparison to motor-driven pumps and possesses the feature of being able to adjust flow rate comparatively easily by changing drive voltage or drive frequency. In order to experience these merits, it is best to actually test it yourself. Accordingly, we are holding a campaign to supply a convenient controller or driver to operate the Piezoelectric Micro Pump at half price, in order that more people may easily test and evaluate it. Please make use of this opportunity to test our Piezoelectric Micro Pump.

Controller: A device that enables free manual configuration of the output voltage/frequency for driving the Piezoelectric Micro Pump via a front panel digital display. The Piezoelectric Micro Pump can be easily operated by this controller alone.

Driver: A circuit board that set a drive voltage/frequency by means of the external input signal. Smaller and cheaper than the controller, the driver is most suited to incorporation in experimental systems that possess control functions.

For more details of the controller and the driver, please check the link below.

 We express deep condolences for victims of the earthquake and sincerely hope for the earliest possible recovery in all regions involved.

 We have been operating our production as usual since we announced the 1st report dated 15 March. However, since some of the raw material manufacturers have been damaged by the disaster, we are facing difficulties in procuring the below materials or parts. At the moment, we are continuing our production but in the near future we will be obliged to consider switching to replacements. When a concrete replacement and time have been decided, we will inform applicable customers individually. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Items that are expected to become hard to procure

-             Some fluorocarbon polymers

-             Some electromagnetic stainless steels

-             Some lead wires for coils
