This 6 mm dispensing valve combines inkjet printing technology with inert materials to achieve precision droplets in the nanoliter to milliliter range. With an ultra-fast response time (as fast as 250 µs), it is ideal for accurate fluid regulation and dispensing repeatable droplets with minimal satellites. The valve’s small size enables mounting in tight spaces, even in arrays directly above a well plate. It is offered with integrated precision orifices, nozzles, screens, or with our MINSTAC® connectors to vary the outlet nozzle and connect tubing. Each valve is customizable and 100% tested to ensure performance.
High Speed:250 µs response time and up to 1 kHz operation
Low Internal Volume:As low as 30 µL
Long Cycle Life:250 M cycles min

*Some models are rated for 0 - 30 psig only. Reference part number table. **Typical cycle life on water; actual cycle life will vary depending on application conditions. ***Valve is sensitive to particles that are hard and fibrous. Larger, flexible particles, such as cells, can be qualified for applications. ****Dispensing frequency is based on water flow within the rated pressure range. Response time and dispense volume profile are drive dependent and vary depending on system parameters. *****A spike and hold drive is required for most applications. To ensure solenoid coil temperatures remain within specification, duty cycle limitations may be required. Contact The Lee Company for recommendations specific to your application.

Mounting Details
Valves with integrated nozzles (designated as standard (P) or small port (SP) outlet configurations) can be manifold mounted using a mounting sleeve kit. This enables precise, controlled injection of fluids directly into flow streams. Reference the installation & accessories tab for part numbers and drawing downloads.
