Building Smarter, More Efficient Fluidics Solutions

The Precision Fluidics Division of Parker Hannifin is a leading supplier of miniature fluidic components and system solutions integral to the world’s medical and analytical instrumentation. Product technologies include pneumatic and chemically inert isolation valves, diaphragm pumps, syringe pumps, electronic pressure controllers, manifolds, and sub-systems.

We deliver fluidic solutions that enhance the performance of our customers’ products, decreasing their time to market while lowering overall costs. Parker achieves this by collaborating directly with its customers to engineer reliable high-performance solutions optimized for each specific application.

Markets Served

Parker Precision Fluidics provides systems, modules, and components found in home health care, hospitals, and diagnostic and clinical laboratories. For analytical chemistry and clinical diagnostic markets, Parker’s technologies and services support device manufacturers in areas such as hematology, urinalysis, flow cytometry, mass spectroscopy, gas chromatography, and liquid chromatography.

Parker offers expertise in controlling, dispensing, and pumping fluid media. It specializes in miniaturized precision components and systems, and in the design of complete fluidic systems.

Whether the system is moving the sample, reagents, bleach, or waste, Precision Fluidics valves and pumps can provide the solution. Parker Smart Syringe Pump, one third the size and weight of standard 30 mm syringe pumps on the market today, was specifically developed to improve the performance of clinical diagnostic and analytical chemistry systems. This is accomplished by increasing resolution and bringing the pump to the point of dispense.

Parker Precision Fluidics Division offers a wide range of products to support pressure and flow control applications. From the carrier gas to the sample, we have a large selection of proportional valves, shut off valves and pressure controllers that provide industry-leading performance.

Capabilities

Our featured products include proportional valves (VSO), inert and semi-inert valves (Series 1&2, Liquid X, Series 3) fast response valves (Series 9, 99), and miniature diaphragm pumps (BTC, TTC, and LTC).

Parker’s products reflect smart design that results in simplified, high performing fluidic control. Lightweight components and compact sizes help OEMs build smaller instruments, decreasing instrument costs and footprint.
