When developing new instruments, finding solutions to trim costs and minimize time-to-market are key. VICI Valco’s new Cheminert C52 Series Injector is an integrated motor/valve assembly for OEM systems. Using the HPLC injector design and the 24 V motor, the injector connects directly to the instrument’s power supply. Control requires a single contact closure and the injector’s position is determined by whether the closure is held high or low. The instrument confirms the valve’s position by sensing the output from a built-in sensor. It is available in four-, six-, eight-, and 10-port configurations, stainless or PEEK. Valco Instruments Co.
