Description:

The Warner Instruments VC-6 Six Channel Perfusion Valve Control System is designed to offer precise control over the delivery of perfusion solutions in electrophysiology, neurobiology, cell biology, and other laboratory experiments that require rapid solution switching. The system can independently control up to six valves, offering users flexible and reliable control over perfusion processes. This system is essential for applications where precise fluid delivery and timing are crucial.

Equipped with flexible control options, including manual, off, or external TTL-compatible signals, the VC-6 is versatile enough to fit a wide range of experimental setups. It also features an event marker pulse for synchronizing valve transitions with data acquisition systems. The system is designed to minimize heat transfer during valve transitions, ensuring stability of your solutions.

Key Features:

• Valve Control: Selectable manual, off, or external (TTL-compatible +5V via BNC connector) control options.
• Event Marker Pulse: 500 ms nominal logic-level pulse generated for each valve transition, available via a rear-panel BNC connector for synchronization with data acquisition systems.
• Flexible Manifold Configurations: Supports 2/1, 4/1, or 6/1 nominal dead space manifolds to accommodate various experimental setups.
• Rapid Valve Transitions: Fast response times with full power valve switching, followed by reduced power to minimize heat transfer.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: 10-40°C (50-104°F), ensuring stable operation across most lab environments.
