 Valco injectors and valves for GC

For 30 years Valco valves have been the industry standard in gas chromatography. Models are available with 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 14 ports, with 1/32", 1/16", 1/8", or 1/4" fittings, and with bore sizes from 0.25 mm (.010") to 4 mm (.156"). In addition, Valco valves offer the widest range of rotor and body materials of any valve available, with alloys and polymer composites capable of meeting virtually any system requirement. All models can be ordered in manual, pneumatic, or electrically actuated versions.
 
   
 Diaphragm valves for GC

A diaphragm valve consists of plungers and ports arranged in a circular pattern, with the plungers controlled by the reciprocating action of two air actuated pistons. Extremely long lifetime (typically 1,000,000 cycles at ambient temperature; approximately 500,000 cycles at elevated temperatures), very short actuation time (10 milliseconds), minimum internal dead volume, and reliability have made this type of valve very successful in process gas chromatography for both sample injection and column switching. Our new miniature version features 1/16" or 1/32" zero dead volume fittings, and is the first to offer a 10 port configuration in addition to the 6 port and internal sample 4 port models.
