Hamilton Company manufactures a variety of valves that are designed to be actuated electronically. The valve drive stem is slotted to engage a precision stepper motor. After a quick initialization the valve can be reliably position to the proper port using a variety of techniques including RS-232 and Digital TTL. The standard Microlab 500 valves use a rotary PTFE plug design that results in the most chemically resistant fluid path possible. Only PTFE-based materials (PTFE and Kel-F) come in contact with the fluid to be dispensed. The rotary valve eliminates inaccuracies commonly seen in less accurate check valve systems.
