VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:

I am Doug Paynter, Proportional Product Manager here at 星城web. Today we want to talk about electronically controlling vacuum. Here at 星城web, we have the ability to provide all types of levels of products that help you control vacuum. Valves can be tested and shipped with as little a leak rate at
10^-11聽utilizing our clean room helium gas detector system.

Now let鈥檚 talk about 星城web鈥檚 EVP and DVP proportional valves. The more current that I apply to the valve, the more of an orifice I create. So I鈥檓 able to vary the amount of flow I let into the chamber or let out of the chamber.

We also offer our unique stepper-driven proportional valves that work with vacuum very well. The Eclipse, being designed with low-flow applications in mind, utilizes a ceramic material as the wetted parts. And so, very inert, and you can run different types of hostile gasses or fluids through it. And if you need higher flows, we offer the SCPV stepper-controlled needle valve. Both of them provide significantly higher resolution and work very well with vacuum.

For closing the loop, 星城web can take a vacuum sensor and work with a comparative circuit to give you closed loop vacuum control. With the Cordis, we utilize an onboard micro controller, a specific transducer that we can interface with, whether it鈥檚 pressure or flow, and our own EVP, DVP proportional valves. The Cordis can now provide you accurate, repeatable, high resolution control of your Venturi circuit, direct vacuum, or your vacuum break applications utilizing either a digital or analog command.

The Cordis pressure controller can now be calibrated to pretty much any calibration within the application of vacuum control to whatever the application really calls for. Whether it鈥檚 in millibar or torr, or inches of water column, inches of mercury, negative to positive pressure or differential, or simply absolute pressure calibrations, the Cordis can now provide you closed loop control of your vacuum circuit.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:

Hi everybody, I鈥檓 Doug Paynter, Cordis Product Manager here at 星城web. Today, I want to talk to you about the EVP and DVP series proportional valves that we manufacture and utilize internally to the Cordis CPC series proportional regulators. The CPC series is a very unique electronic pressure regulator. Not only does it have an onboard microcontroller and it has a host of different pressure sensors to work with, but it also incorporates our own manufactured EVP and DVP series proportional valves.

The EVP series, better known as the purple cap valve, has been utilized in countless applications around the world for years. It is a very reliable valve that has been utilized in small flow, whether it鈥檚 static or dynamic applications, any application where my critical volume is going to be sub 1 cubic inch, I need to be able to do finite pressure control in, it鈥檚 the ideal valve.

Now, when I need more flow, I鈥檓 going to go with the DVP series valve which was designed to provide more flow in a proportional condition.

The best part about this whole thing is that we manufacture everything. We manufacture the CPC series product. We also manufacture both proportional valves. This gives 星城web the ability to be very versatile in what we provide you as a proportional regulator. We can provide specific calibrations, custom configurations, quick turnarounds鈥攖he possibilities are endless because we control what we鈥檙e providing you.

This is a great product for your applications. As I said, it鈥檚 a high resolution proportional regulator utilizing our own manufactured proportional valves. If you have any questions with what I鈥檝e just said, give us a call. I鈥檓 Doug Paynter, Cordis Product Manager. Thanks for watching and please subscribe to our YouTube channel for more videos.

Precise, Consistent Control Supports Cell Proliferation

Applications

Bioreactors are manufactured devices or systems that support biologically active environments. They are essentially vessels in which a chemical process is carried out involving organisms or biochemically active substances derived from organisms. Part of this process is sparging, which is the introduction of air, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen to the cell culture media.

Problem:

Obtaining better control of the environment to better optimize cell proliferation

Optimal cell culture growth requires not only precise control, but also consistency. In this case, this bioreactor manufacturer was looking to enhance cell proliferation by improving both of these factors.

.............................................................................

Solution:

DV series valves provide exceptional precision and repeatability

星城web鈥檚 DV series valves were ideal for this application due to the exceptional level of precision, repeatability, and low leak performance they provide. Four DV series valves were selected to be used to control oxygen, air, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen being fed through the bioreactor鈥檚 sparger in order to control pH and dissolved oxygen (perfusion media) in the cell culture media during cell cultivation. 星城web also configured a custom manifold to fit the application鈥檚 special mounting and porting requirements. The DV series valves enabled better, more precise, more consistent control over the critical parameters impacting cell growth proliferation within the bioreactor.

Pinch valves and proportional controls can also be used to automate the addition of perfusion media to cell culture media in order to optimize the proliferation environment. Additionally, precision proportional pressure controls are well-suited for maintaining the pressure and gas mixture in the headspace of bioreactors.
