Cytiva Hydraulic Inlet Ball Valve for FineLINE Columns

The Cytiva Hydraulic Inlet Valve is a specialized component designed for use with FineLINE 70–350 chromatography columns. This valve is a ball valve type, which is engineered to provide a secure and precise mechanism for controlling the flow of fluid (typically the chromatography mobile phase or packing slurry) into the column.

As an inlet valve, its primary function is to isolate the column from the liquid chromatography system or to regulate the flow during the critical steps of column packing and unpacking. The hydraulic design ensures robust and reliable operation, capable of withstanding the high pressures often generated during chromatography, particularly during the packing of high-performance resins. The ball valve mechanism allows for a quick, quarter-turn shut-off, which is essential for maintaining system integrity.

The Cytiva Hydraulic Inlet Valve is an essential component for process development and pilot-scale purification workflows using FineLINE columns, contributing to the safety, efficiency, and reproducibility of large-scale protein purification.
