Precise media control in laboratories
We make ideas flow.
/ Precise dosing and media protection for accurate test results / A variety of systems and components are used to precisely control, regulate and measure fluids and gases inside laboratory devices. BĂźrkert supplies and develops suitable components and systems for various applications. Complete solutions are also possible to ensure that everything, from your media supply to your reagent and sample dosing, as well as the analysis unit, cleaning and waste handling, is under control. The media supply ensures that adequate amounts of fluids and gases are distributed inside laboratory devices. BĂźrkert solutions represent the interface between the external media supply and the device. It is essential that the defined parameters such as pressure, temperature and flow rate be maintained. Flawless coordination between the individual BĂźrkert components ensures that processes run perfectly.
In the system solution, all the components complement each other perfectly. Low manufacturing tolerances ensure the same switching behaviour for all valves – even after replacement

The low power consumption of the valve also means less heat is generated. The design of the valve also ensures that any heat generated is mainly released into the environment. Heat input into the medium is therefore reduced to a minimum.
Precise gas control in laboratories
Regardless of the pressure, the valves switch extremely fast and precise. This prevents overdosing or underdosing, ensuring consistent and reliable results. Your samples stay clean and you receive highly accurate test results.

/ Be it a research laboratory or an experimental facility / When it comes to fermentation, gases and liquids must be precisely controlled. Fermentation in the laboratory places high demands on the bioreactors or fermenters used. Whether you are cultivating micro-organisms or cells â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the materials installed must be compliant and approved, the process data documented and evaluable. Having everything under control makes all the difference for operators â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is why they insist on processes that are fully transparent. Only by doing so can you harvest the product you need in the required quality at the end of the process. In addition to safe and clean working methods, the reproducibility of the processes is key. Why is it so important? If you want to create an identical product at a later date, you need verified and accessible data for precise gas dosing. In addition, you should be able to selectively influence the fermentation process at any time to optimise the growth of the final product. With the right mixture, you can control gases seamlessly.
HIGH QUALITY
MFCs make your processes reproducible with precise and repeatable accurate sensors and proportional valve technology.
High-quality materials are used during production to guarantee reliable product quality.
GOOD TO GO

/ Fast, precise and consistent dosing / Bürkert’s time-pressure dosing technology helps to speed up the dosing process and increase the efficiency of your analytical device. In addition, the design of the valve prevents uncontrolled heat input into the medium and helps you achieve accurate test results. Good to know: We adapt Bürkert system solutions to your requirements – or develop an individual solution together with you.
Type 6650
Type 6712
Gas/Air
Type 6724
Regardless of the pressure used to dose a liquid, the valve opens and closes at the same speed, which can be seen using the example of a Type 6650 below. This allows you to increase or decrease pressure levels as required and still have the confidence that your valve is consistently working fast and precise.

Conventional solution Rotameters are mechanical devices that measure the flow rate of a fluid in a closed tube. However, the principle used is based neither on mass-flow nor volume-flow measurement. They must be precisely calibrated and only function at the pressure and temperature for which they have been set.

dosing units - BioSystems S.A. relies on Bürkert´s know-how and quality products.
Innovative ideas flow into a customised solution For precise and reliable measurement, regulation and control of the flow rates in the new dosing unit, BioSystems took advantage of the entire experience of the Bürkert Systemhaus. Both companies have high core competences in their respective fields. But it was the combination of their specific competences that allowed them to implement a unique and innovative solution for this high-level dosing application. A very important aspect for the Spanish engineers was Bürkert’s willingness to listen carefully and to respond by developing a solution in accordance with the exact requirements of BioSystems. Bürkert offered both an extensive spectrum of standard products and corresponding experience in the design of system solutions, which made Bürkert a clear choice as suitable partner for BioSystems.
The new development is based on Type 0127 (2/2- or 3/2-way solenoid valve) and the directacting media separated 3/2-way Twin Power rocker solenoid valve Type 6628 from Bürkert. Both valves feature rocker technology, which ensures not only a complete back pressure tightness, good flushability and a low internal volume, but also precise switching of micro volumes with minimal temperature rise through the coil. Due to complete fluid separation, these valves can be used for aggressive media. But the fluid specialist supplied more than just the solution for the control of fluid flows. An essential function in blood analysis is the detection and prevention of air bubbles, which can substantially corrupt the results of the analysis. Bürkert therefore avoided rough surfaces, dead zones and sharp edges in the design of the dosing unit. A special challenge
was the customer’s requirement for a transparent window for visual inspection, to be placed in front of the dosing unit and beneath the structure with the valves and pressure sensor. Bürkert developed an injection moulded part with a very high surface quality and no sharp edges in the area of the dosing unit. In each stage of the project Bürkert contributed its comprehensive experience with a high degree of commitment to find the decisive solution. Despite the new challenges and difficulties normally occurring with innovative developments, the two partners succeeded together in working out a forward-looking solution. The new one-for-all dosing unit can now be used in more than one analysis device. Large quantities mean lower manufacturing costs, so that in the end both partners benefit from the solution that was found.

is a Munich-based medical device manufacturer that develops and sells innovative CPAP systems for newborns and premature infants treated in intensive care units.
The latest product development – medinCNT® – works without a compressor thanks to the built-in turbine. Since it only needs to be connected to an oxygen cylinder instead of a central gas supply, this independently-operating, compact device is transport friendly and thus ideal for mobile use. medin® has been working closely with Bürkert for many years. The result of this collaboration provides young patients with the best possible support for a good start in life. Independently operating mobile systems are becoming increasingly popular in delivery rooms, ambulances and intensive care units. To address and tackle the considerable technical challenges, such as the precise recording and control of required gas volumes, medin® turned to the experts at Bürkert. The result of this joint development project is medinCNT®.
The latest generation of Bürkert proportional valves offers frictionless operation, combined with fast response times, highly dynamic performance and high repeat accuracy of ± 0.25%. This ensures significantly less deviation from the set value in the gas mixture flow rate than the ΔQ ≤± 2% at 20 litres per minute currently demanded by law. The Bürkert solution therefore guarantees ideal therapy solutions delivered in the most efficient way to young patients, making sure their lungs receive the best possible support for a good start in life. “The well-balanced unit, consisting of Bürkert valves, sensors and electronics along with the corresponding software, controls the oxygen concentration and the desired flow rate effectively and efficiently.” – Paul Schmitgen, technical and marketing manager at medin Medical Innovations GmbH
