Inert Solenoid
Valves
Our miniature inert solenoid valves have been designed
specifically for analytical, clinical and scientific instrument
applications. For more than fifteen years, our Y-valves and Micro Inert
Valves (MIVs) have been the standard for manufacturers requiring accurate,
precise, and reliable operation. These valves have been used on the best
instruments and devices by leading manufacturers and researchers around
the world. Our new R-valve continues this tradition of excellence with a
modular porting, small size and flexible configuration. Further details on
how our experience and expertise can help you with your needs and problems
are below.
Our Y-valves, MIVs and R-valves offer
the following features:
- Valves that set the world standard
- Wide range of materials for
maximum compatibility

Variable Volume
and Pre-set Solenoid Pumps
Lee Pre-Set and Variable Volume Pumps are the solution for
automated chemistry systems. Designed for "install and forget"
operation with outstanding features and performance.
These high quality pumps are carefully
engineered and manufactured in a laboratory-like, clean production
environment. The result is a line of instrument-quality pumps that offer
unparalleled performance in terms of reliability and consistent operation
from cycle to cycle and pump to pump.
- Standard volume ranges: 50 µl,
250 µl, 750 µl per full stroke
- Full volume dispense as fast as .3
seconds for Pre-Set Pumps, 1 second for Variable Pumps
- Low Power Consumption means less
heat in the cabinet to manage
- Long Life -- Millions of cycles
- Compact -- Made small to fit
inside the machine, near the chemistries
- Light Weight -- Made light to fit
on moving arms, gantries, etc.
- Robust construction
- Many custom configurations
possible
- 100% inspected and function tested

Industrial
Microhydraulics
Engineered plugs and
valves |
In 1991, The Lee Company
founded the Industrial MicroHydraulics (IMH) Division to adapt its
proven design concepts to meet the higher volume production, performance
and cost requirements of automotive and industrial hydraulic and medical
applications. Lee's IMH products have been well received. Using design
techniques similar to those used for the Lee Plugs, valves, restrictors
and safety screens that have logged millions of flight hours in
aerospace applications, The IMH Division can now offer products of the
same reliability and consistent performance, in very high quantities.
The Lee Company continues to expand the product offerings in The IMH
Division.
