Sequential injection pack
As laboratories increasingly demand higher levels of throughput and efficiency, there is a growing need for user-friendly tools that can automate sample processing and analysis.
One such tool is the sequential injection device, which uses quick-connect fittings and a distribution valve linked to a pressure regulator to control the flow of your samples.
Easy to use
Our device is designed to be user-friendly, with a quick reservoir connection and a simple interface that makes it easy to set up and operate. You can plug 50 ml, 15 ml, and 1,5 ml reservoirs simultaneously on the same device without needing a reservoir holder.
Space-saving design
The distribution valve features a compact and space-saving design, making it ideal for laboratories with limited bench space. The modular design also enables researchers to customize the device to suit their experimental needs without sacrificing space. Connect from 1 to 12 reservoirs. With that upgrade, eliminate a dozen pneumatic lines and holders, simplifying your experiment and making space on your lab table.

FAQ - Sequential Injection Device
What is the Sequential Injection Device exactly, and what is the key concern that this device addresses?
The Sequential Injection Device is a device designed to simplify and automate our handling of samples. This device came about as a solution to the common problem of handling many reagents simultaneously. This device eliminates human error, timing errors, possibilities for cross-contamination, and fatigue by taking the human element out of the process.
How does this device technically work?
It is operated through quick-connect fittings and a distribution valve in series with a pressure regulator. This distribution valve is able to select any one of up to 12 inputs in a programable sequence and draw fluids from any reservoir. Regardless of the reservoir selected, the process is consistent due to the consistent pressure regulator.
What are the key applications for this device?
- Clinical & biomedical: Drug discovery, drug injection, Seq Fish, DNA-paint, forensic analysis.
- Biology: Cell culture analysis, fermentation monitoring, microbial analysis, and bioprocess monitoring.
- Chemistry: Chemical process control, biofuel analysis, and petroleum analysis.
- Environmental monitoring: water and soil quality analysis and environmental toxicology.
- In industries: Food quality control, pharmaceutical analysis.
How does this device handle multiple medication injections?
In the handling of many medication injections simultaneously, this device is useful in providing precise timing and concentration control. This device is able to inject up to 12 medications sequentially. This is useful in research studies that evaluate the combined effect of medications in treatment by providing the ability for multiple replicates in the same experiment.
What types of molecules does this device work well with?
The device works well with proteins, peptides, and drugs based on DNA. It also works well with combination therapy drugs that use multiple drugs in a specific sequence and amount. In addition, the device works well with the use of nanoparticles and the use of personalized medicine with specific delivery profiles.
What are the benefits of this device for the laboratory space and the complexity of the laboratory setup?
