Single-use valves
Alflow offers a wide range of single-use valves for the pharmaceutical industry. We have both manual and pneumatically actuated single-use valves for flow control in single-use systems, including pinch valves, diaphragm replacement valves and shut-off valves. See the range of single-use valves from leading manufacturers on this page.
What are single-use valves?
Our single use valves can be used as an alternative to stainless steel valves, making it easy to customise processes for single use. The valve and liner design allows for exceptional fluid control, dead zone removal and significantly low hold-up volumes.
With single-use valves, the 100% achieves flow and there is no pressure loss through the valve as often seen in stainless steel diaphragm valves, and they can be changed easily - and without tools.
Single-use valves also avoid extensive cleaning validation and get you back in operation quickly. Simply replace and dispose of each liner/insert after each batch, which is more efficient than cleaning and reusing a traditional stainless steel valve.
Find the right single-use valves for your application
Our single-use valves are made of materials that ensure extremely high cleanliness and thereby the best conditions for your product. The valves are available in a number of variants, including:
- Manual pinch valves
- Pneumatically actuated pinch valves
- Manual diaphragm replacement valves
- Pneumatically actuated diaphragm replacement valves
- Shut-off valves
The Shut-off Valve is a precise flow regulator and shut-off valve for silicone tubing used in bioprocessing and pharmaceutical product manufacturing applications. The BioValve valve offers full flexibility in single use applications. It can be installed on the most common silicone hose types.
Diaphragm replacement valves are a direct drop-in replacement for your existing stainless steel diaphragm valves, making it easy to replace them and use them in single-use processes.
The pinch valves are designed for one-time flow control in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. The disposable valves outperform other pinch valves due to easy maintenance, simple installation, compact and durable design and 0 to 100 % fluid control.
The valves can be used in a wide range of applications in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry, including
- blend
- Media and buffer manufacturing
- cell clarification/harvest
- perfusion
- filtration
- downstream filtering
- downstream chromatography
- downstream replenishment
- downstream buffer exchange
- downstream virus inactivation
- downstream concentration
- downstream fractionation
- downstream transfer
- and more
The use of sterile single-use components saves time and reduces the risk of cross-contamination while increasing productivity between batches. Manufactured with quality in mind, the systems can be quickly installed and operational in a fraction of the time needed to install traditional stainless steel systems used for pharmaceutical and biotech filling.
