The L-SWITCH™ is a 6-port/2-position bidirectional microfluidic injection valve used to handle liquids through different valve ports. It is ideal for precise volume injection or for switching between different fluids, as it allows automation of sample injection in your fluid line.

Peripheral ports (numbered from 1 to 6) can alternatively be connected to the right or the left channels. The L-SWITCH™ is actuated by a motor that drives a rotor – where the fluidic path is engraved – against a stator – containing the fluidic paths.
Sample injection
The L-SWITCH™ microfluidic injection valve enables one to load and inject a precise volume of fluid. By selecting the position of the L-SWITCH™ you will choose when you want to load the fluid and then inject it (using a sample loop). Several sample loops are available from 5 µL to 100 µL.
Workflow automation
The valve can be controlled by OxyGEN software for long-term experiments. Create a time-based protocol to set the actuation timing of the valve(s).
