Precisely controls flow for biopharmaceutical applications via hose restriction
BioPure Technology, part of Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG), announces its BioValve® variable flow control valve, a precision restriction flow controller and shut-off valve for use in bioprocessing and pharmaceutical manufacturing applications.
The BioValve control valve features a profile designed to minimize flow path turbulence. The valve’s thread pitch is calibrated to 2mm per turn, delivering highly controlled flow restriction even with single-handed use.
BioValve control valves are produced from reinforced nylon USP Class VI, and are suitable for sterilization by autoclave and gamma irradiation up to 40 kGy, making them ideal for biopharmaceutical applications. Every BioValve is permanently molded with production lot numbers to ensure full traceability, and the product is available in two different sizes to accommodate a range of tube diameters.
BioPure also offers advanced single-use tube and connector systems. Drawing on considerable single-use expertise, BioPure Technology provides the flexibility of customized fluid path solutions to suit a range of bioprocessing needs.
