Individual solutions for the life science industry are part of our DNA
Even in highly sensitive production processes such as gene analysis, DNA analysis or oligosynthesis, precision is no longer the only thing that matters. Speed, productivity and reproducibility with increasingly sophisticated and complex methods are the decisive criteria for making reliable investigation possible.
We are familiar with these parameters and design our components and systems with the appropriate parameters: sophisticated fluidics technology for laboratories, resistance to the highest chemical loads, real-time monitoring for quality control, optimisation of process flows and, last but not least, highly individual solutions. As an experienced solution provider with numerous proven products for the Life science industry, we are able to respond to your specific requirements with the precision of chromatography.
We supply everything from a single source, from individual valves and sensors for regulation, measurement and control technology to the finished dosing application, including the approval documents and documentation. This is how we ensure that all Bürkert components in the critical processes of the Life science industry work together in a precisely coordinated manner and at the same time support your supply chain. This makes Bürkert the perfect partner for all applications in the laboratory, in research and at the point of care.
Specific devices for specific processes in the Life science industry
We also analyse processes – because as fluidics experts we develop solutions for your device from the tailor-made component to the individually tailored system – you can find out more in a non-binding consultation.
The requirement: Exact, reproducible gradient mixtures even with large temperature fluctuations.
The Bürkert solution: Valves with switching accuracy and durability specifically designed for the laboratory environment.
The requirement: Purity and process speed in microdosing.
The Bürkert solution: Our dosing valves offer the decisive properties – highly resistant to aggressive solvents, constant flow and switching behaviour, maximum service life values for media-separated valves and digital communication interfaces for process or function monitoring in real time.
The requirement: The flow rate in the vacuum influences the rate of oligo growth and therefore also the quality and purity of the oligos. At the same time, the excess reagents are disposed of.
The Bürkert solution: Our valve systems ensure precise vacuum control within an environment that is highly flammable due to solvents.
The requirement: Exclude cross-contamination with strong cleaning agents.
The Bürkert solution: Microfluidic valves with excellent chemical resistance and being able to be rinsed, enable safe dosing. In addition, the real-time monitoring of the dosing valve components using process monitoring and functional diagnostics ensures efficient processes.
The requirement: Fast and precise switching operations of the pilot valves for precise dosing.
The Bürkert solution: Our 3/2-way valves offer a wide selection for every flow range. Thanks to the integrated function diagnosis any malfunctions are detected immediately. With a complete syringe pump head, Bürkert also offers application solutions with integrated process monitoring.
The requirement: Fast and precise switching operations of the pilot valves for precise dosing.
The Bürkert solution: Our 3/2-way valves offer a wide selection for every flow range. Thanks to the integrated function diagnosis, malfunctions are detected immediately. With a complete syringe pump head, Bürkert also offers application solutions with integrated process monitoring.
The requirement: Cross-contamination of different samples must be prevented under all circumstances.
The Bürkert solution: Our dosing system aspirates and dispenses reagents without contact and can also do without conventional single-use components for waste disposal.
The requirement: When cultivating cells in the bioreactor, the smallest deviations or contamination lead to the destruction of the cell culture or the reproduction of the wrong cells.
The Bürkert solution: Our components and systems ensure safe gas and liquid dosing thanks to precise switching, a long service life and excellent rinsing ability.
