16-Channel Valve Controller
Computerized controller for pinch and fast solenoid valves. To make a complete
system add valves below (set of two for 16-channel system). Syringe holders are required.
AUTO
Memory
The 16-channel controller can operate in Auto Memory mode, when a
set of chosen valves opens automatically at the time the other valves close.
This is useful for automatic switching to control solutions after the test
solution is OFF.
CODE Mode
The controller has an options for
valves control by channel encoding using only 2-4 digital inputs, in case if a
limited number of digital outputs is available in your system.
Analog
Input
You can also use analog signal input to switch the channels by
changing the voltage (0.5V increment).
USB/RS232 Input
The
RS232 port allows automation of solution switching and integration with imaging systems.
Analog Out
Analog
output to switch outflow automatically (can be
configured for telegraph output).
INHIBIT Mode
Closes valves
regardless of input.
Negative INPUTs
Optional modification to
use TTL inputs to close channels in response to the time sequence pulses. Used
in certain applications when continuous flow through the channel is required,
with short CLOSED periods.
DIMENSIONS
Size: 2.7 x 12 x 9in.
Includes 120/220VAC external power supply.
The
16-channel controller is included with every
perfusion system. The
controller opens valves through manual switches, wireless remote or by TTL signals generated by a computer
or other equipment. Other control options include: open valves by analog signal,
and through RS232 port (or USB connection). Compatible with data
acquisition and imaging systems. Optional software to generate solution switching sequences to automate complex
routine protocols is available. Incorporates INHIBIT mode:
to CLOSE channels simultaneously, and CODE mode: to operate by limited number of
digital INPUT signals.

The analog output can be used to turn OUTFLOW automatically
Shown is a miniature flow control unit, which can drive solution up to 22ml/min. Specify analog option for automatic outflow when perfusion is turned ON.

signals to monitor the channels.

With optional RS232UP upgrade up to 32 channels (two controllers)
can be operated through a single RS232 port. Up to 10 controllers
(RS232UP only) can be connected in a chain to control 320 channels
through the same RS232 (or USB) port.
Comes with an external 120/220V power supply.

PRICES AND OPTIONS |
PC-16 |
$960 |
Basic 16-Channel Valve Controller.
Does not include remote, pressure control, and software.
|
PC-16-RC |
$230 |
Ergonomic Remote Control
Wireless remote control option allows you to switch solutions without reaching for a distant controller. You can look at your sample using a microscope and switch solutions at the same time, for example. This tools also proves to be handy during solution refills.
|
PV-8 |
$1,360 |
Fast 1.5ms valves, mounted in aluminum box.
Teflon barbed valves are placed in 5.35L x 2.5W x 1H in. aluminum box. Combined with PC-16 controller, makes a basic system. The 16-channel controller can operate two 8-valve assemblies. Includes 8-channel
manifold. Includes two mounting rods with X-blocks to mount on standard 0.5 in. posts or syringe holders. Valves response time is 1.5 ms. Since valves are inside the metal box and are connected to the controller through shielded cables, there is not electrical noise during switching. Require SH-1A syringe holder,
tubing and fitting.
|
PV-V-ADD |
$175 |
Replacement 1.5ms valve.
|
PS-V8 |
$995 |
Pinch valves, set of 8, mounted inside an aluminum box to use with perfusion systems.
Combined with PC-16 controller, makes a basic system. The 16-channel controller can operate two 8-valve assemblies. Includes pinch tubing, all fitting,
and 8-channel manifold. Includes two mounting rods with X-blocks to mount on standard 0.5 in. posts or syringe holders. Size: 6.75L x 2.40H x 2.50D in. Require SH-1A syringe holder,
tubing and fitting.
|
PC-16-232UP |
$495 |
16-Channel Controller RS232 Upgrade.
An upgrade for 16-Channel valves controller. Provides additional features for multi-channel automated solution switching. Includes 4 analog inputs to monitor external signals (temperature, for example), additional 16 I/O lines and 2 counters (for disposable flow meters) to build robust and flexible automated systems. Can be used with power switch system to control high power devices like high flow rate pumps. Can switch up to 32 channels (with another PC-16 controller linked) using a single RS232 port and a built-in 16 digital outputs to connect directly to the second controller. With this upgrade, up to 10 controllers can be connected in a chain to control 320 (total 20 controllers) channels through the same RS232 (or USB) port.
