Good from Every Angle: Fluids are fascinating media. And it is this very fascination with liquids and gases that drives us to develop ever new devices that can handle them even better. We are one of the few suppliers on the market to cover the complete control loop. Our current product range extends from solenoid valves through process and analytical valves to pneumatic actuators and sensors. To meet our customers' ever-changing demands, the people at our four research and development centers permanently work on improving both our individual products and our range as a whole. Products that solve...

We Help Your Ideas Flow. We are proficient in the handling of fluids where dead legs, internal volume, chemical resistance Ultra-pure water, aggressive solvents, biochemical substrates, highly concentrated acids or lyes, different viscosities, fast drying industrial inks or crystallizing fluids present a wide range of flow challenges that we understand. Active in MicroFluidics for more than 1 5 years, we have gained wide experiences in the produc- tion of suitable components and systems for this market. Clean production facilities, an in-house tool-shop and dedicated engineering specialists provide...

There are things which are not inherently yours. You have to gather them bit by bit. You receive them from others. And you constantly have to acquire them anew. That is what makes them so valuable. Experience is one of those things. For instance, because of our many years of experience with MicroFluidics, we can provide our extensive services to you—from consulting, development, and 3D CAD simulating to testing and after-sales service. Whether individual product solutions or a pioneering new system for the entire control process: Benefit from our experience!

COURAGE Those who only work toward optimizing things that already exist will eventually reach the limits—technically, financially, or personally. In order to overcome these limits, courage is needed: The courage to be different and trust one’s own ideas; the courage to venture into the unknown, searching for new ways to develop products that have never existed before. We have this courage. By pooling and utilizing our competencies across all sectors, you benefit from our cumulative knowledge of MicroFluidic systems—whether it is in Clinical Diagnostics or Industrial Analytics.

Your Quality Control. Automated quality control makes life easier process efficiency. Environmental monitoring, waste water analysis, food quality control, paper production monitoring systems or viscosity determination in petrochemistry are just a few examples of today's applications that require intelligent and automated on-site analytics. Automation of standard operations like titration, defined sample points or precision reagent dosing calls for expertise in integrated fluid control systems. This is particularly the case when dealing with smal sample or reagent volumes of potentially aggressive...
