The ASCO Series 384 is an aluminum body, solenoid-operated pinch valve designed for use with highly aggressive or high-purity liquids. The 3-way valve features hermetic separation of its control mechanism and the fluid within the tubing to prevent particulate contamination caused by friction of moving parts. This construction assures maximum purity of liquids in analytical and medical instrumentation and industrial applications. Typical applications include hemodialysis, urinary collection systems, intravenous (IV) systems, and drug dispensing.
