Multifunctional in the smallest of spaces
Whether your laboratory processes involve pipetting medical samples or dosing with a dispense head, the pressure and vacuum generator PGVA from Festo is a standalone solution for liquid handling in laboratory automation. All you need to supply a solution with compressed air or vacuum is a 24 V power supply.
Practical interfaces
Both pressure and vacuum are generated in a closed control loop using integrated compressor, buffer reservoirs, pressure sensors and proportional valve. Users can individually specify the pressure and vacuum level via a serial RS232 or network-capable Ethernet communication interface. The defined electric, pneumatic and software-based interfaces make it easy to integrate the PGVA into an existing liquid handling solution or operate it manually with the PC-based graphical user interface (GUI). The required volume for dispensing or aspirating is determined by the valve opening time and the pressure and vacuum values set in the software.
