Valves
Micropumps form the tangible heart of our performance. A performance that is extended by necessary components, such as valves, to achieve full system functionality.
That is why we offer these in addition to our various micropumps. Like for example our own developed passive check valve or active valves. One of these we have carefully selected with our partner BMT for use with our mp6 micropump. The manufacturer of the active valve is Takasago from Japan. The other one we have also selected with our partner memetis and offer this in combination with the evaluation set coming from memetis. New are the valves from Staiger, which are characterized above all by their small size and high speed.
With these you can switch your microfluidic system at will, as well as quickly and easily set up. add the advantage of active monitoring and make regulation possible. Thus, you can quickly and easily make your microfluidic system intelligent and miniaturized.

2/2-way valve with media separation
The ultra-compact 2/2-way NC Valve Series 09 from memetis enables complex fluidic systems with very low power consumption and silent switching. The valve is perfectly suited for life science fluidics and other small but complex fluidic applications.
Available is the evaluation set for the valve
Technical data:
- normally closed
- 2/2-way valve
- dimension: 20 x 5 x 8.0 mm
- material: PEEK Housing, Silicone Membrane, also PPS & PMMA Housing available
- power consumption: 0.3 W

Staiger spider valve
Small, low-wear and ultra-fast
For precise dosing smallest amounts of gases and liquids. It is possible to achieve ultra-fast switching operations and high dosing accuracy.
In addition, the spider valves by Staiger stand out by being small in size and low in weight.
All valves are 100% calibrated which leads to a high repeatability and long-term stability.
Technical data:
- available as 2/2-way normally-closed (nc) valve and 3/2 way valve
- size: 7 mm
- operating temperature range: 5 – 50°C
- Input voltage: 5 V
- Sealing material: FKM, other material possible
- switching time: < 1 ms
- Media: air and water
mp-cv
