Single-Use Pinch Valves

Sentinel Process offers several product designs of sanitary pinch valves with unique advantages over traditional “throw-away” polymer components for shut-off single-use applications in bioprocessing. All tubing brands and compounds can be operated indefinitely from batch-to-batch with no physical break to the process tubing thus preventing any possibility of contamination.  This allows the use of customer provided tubing without the need to weld tubing.
