Requirement
An OEM making laboratory equipment
to test water quality was experiencing
an unacceptable level of leaks from the
valves that controlled samples and reagent
channels. They needed to improve instrument
performance by eliminating leaks while at
the same time reducing the total cost of
ownership.
Solution
IMI Precision Engineering integrated quality
IMI FAS Microsol® isolation valves with a
customer-specific manifold designed to fit into
the existing instrument footprint. Tests showed
that using the Microsol valves and proper
sealing materials eliminated leaks. The valves
also last 50% longer and use less energy,
reducing overall costs for end users.
