Change batches faster and reduce leaks
with injection-molded flow paths
Pre-assembled chromatography flow paths integrate advanced fluid management technologies, including injection molding, over-molded connections, pump heads, tubing, filters and sensors in a strong, nearly leak-free, closed and single-use device. Designed for simplicity, flow paths install in less than 30 minutes and increase process efficiency.
Components
- Inlet ports
- Pump head
- Over-molded connection
- Filter-based air trap
- Column ports
- In-line sensors
- Outlet ports
Reduce hold up volume with synergistic valve
and flow path technology
Valve Block Components
- Pneumatic actuators
- Manifold closure points
- Overmolded joints with sterile connectors
- Molded single-use flow path
Innovative valve blocks direct fluids through uniform ID, crevice-free flow paths, achieving extremely low turbulence. Multiple T injection-molded silicone inserts, combined with over-molded connections, minimize footprint and enable optimum closure point placement, significantly reducing dead leg.
Traditional hose-barbed manifold
- Multiple ID variations promote turbulence
- Hose-barb connections foster leaks
- Large dead legs increase hold-up volume, turbulent flow
- Manifold batch-to-batch dimensional differrences create process variations
Artesyn® molded manifold
- Uniform, crevice free ID minimizes turbulence
- Over-molded connections reduce leaks
- Minimal dead leg improves drainability and reduces hold-up volume
- injection-molded flow paths enable batch-to-batch dimensional and process consistency
