Dispensing, aspirating, pipetting – precision is a must when handling very small volumes of liquid. So how do specialists in laboratory automation manage to meet their quality requirements reliably and efficiently, even with high throughputs? How do they achieve reproducible results and avoid contamination? The Life Science webinar from automation specialist Festo provides clear answers to these and many other questions. When? On Wednesday, 16 ...

Dosing, aspirating or continuous flow – with the media-separated valves VYKA, VYKB and VZDB from Festo all three operating modes are possible. The compact yet powerful valves dose and aspirate even small quantities with a high level of precision. Thanks to their impressive pressure and nominal width specifications, they are also suitable for controlling the flow in a manifold duct plate, for example.

With the SupraCube, Festo is presenting for the first time a SupraMotion concept in which the superconductor unit can be separated from the electrical cooler and can operate autonomously for up to two hours. The compact technology allows contactless movement and handling of objects - ideal for industries with the highest requirements for cleaning and cleanliness, such as laboratory automation, biotechnology or semiconductor production.

Industrial automation specialist Festo has introduced the VYKA range of media separated solenoid valves offering high precision control of virtually any fluid or gas. Just 7mm in width and with an orifice size of 1.2mm, the VYKA range has a class leading pressure-to-orifice size ratio and offers a compact solution to a wide variety of dosing and continuous flow applications.
