ASCO Series 062 Rocker Isolation Valve

The ASCO Series 062 Rocker Isolation Valve’s interchangeable design enables optimized customization of compact fluid-handling manifolds, maximizing functionality and flexibility. It is designed especially for today’s most demanding fluid control manifolds in the clinical laboratory such as hematology and immunoassay analyzers, sample preparation, pre-analytical, as well as DNA sequencing instruments. The valves designed with a 0.63 in. (16 mm) compact size allow for easy integration into complex fluid-handling manifolds, resulting in a reduction in footprint, weight, and power. It also offers two-way and three-way functionality.

ASCO rocker isolation valves control neutral and highly aggressive liquids used in nearly any type of analytical instrumentation. The easy-to-flush special rocker mechanism, combined with a separating diaphragm, prevents heat transfer to expensive in-vitro diagnostic reagents and eliminates the potential for sticking and clogging of the valve seat. Hermetic separation of the control mechanism prevents particulate contamination caused by the friction of moving parts.

The Series 062 valves have a smaller internal volume, reducing contamination risk, maintenance requirements, and potential reagent waste. The valve also offers pad-mount and barb-fitting mounting options making installation easier, as well as a lifetime of 10 million cycles.
