Product Overview
The SHIMADZU 228-51880-92 is a precision-engineered solenoid valve designed for high-performance fluid control in analytical instrumentation and industrial process systems. Manufactured by Shimadzu, a global leader in precision instrumentation, this valve operates as an electrically actuated flow-control component within HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) systems and general process/pneumatic circuits. The valve utilizes a solenoid-driven plunger mechanism to provide rapid, repeatable on/off fluid switching, ensuring accurate solvent delivery, gradient formation, and system pressure management. Its compact design and chemically resistant wetted materials make it suitable for both laboratory-scale analytical applications and demanding industrial process environments requiring precise micro-fluidic control.

Engineering Features & Advantages
- Precision Fluid Control: Solenoid-actuated plunger delivers rapid, repeatable open/close cycles, ensuring accurate solvent proportioning and gradient reproducibility in HPLC and process systems.
- Chemical Compatibility: Inert wetted path materials resist aggressive solvents, acids, and bases, extending service life in analytical and industrial fluid-handling environments.
- Industrial Reliability: Built for continuous operation under severe industrial conditions, with robust coil insulation and thermal stability for sustained duty cycles.
- Direct Fit Replacement: Exact dimensional and functional compatibility with original OEM Shimadzu HPLC systems, minimizing downtime and installation complexity.
- Low Internal Volume: Optimized flow path reduces dead volume, improving peak resolution and system efficiency in chromatographic applications.
Typical Industrial Applications
This solenoid valve is commonly deployed in HPLC and UHPLC solvent delivery systems for gradient formation and mobile-phase switching, pharmaceutical and chemical process analyzers, laboratory automation fluid-handling modules, and general industrial process/pneumatic circuits requiring precise, electrically actuated micro-fluid control. It is also suitable for use in petrochemical sampling systems, environmental monitoring equipment, and biotech purification skids where reliable, low-volume valve actuation is critical.
