smallest media-separated microvalves

beyond the limits of miniaturization
memetis normally-closed microvalve with ultrcompact dimensions, low power consumption and weight <1g


We leverage our expertise in thin-foil shape memory alloy (SMA) actuation to create outstanding microvalve solutions. 

Explore memetis' selection of microvalves that offer gas and liquid flow control with:

  • maximum compactness
  • light weight
  • silent operation
  • low power consumption
  • proportional controllability
  • media separation

The Normally Closed Microvalves

Our Normally Closed Microvalves are media-separated, normally closed 2/2-way valves that are exceptionally small in size and can be used in a variety of applications.

Bistable Latching Valve

The pre-series bistable valve is the most energy efficient microvalve in memetis portfolio. Due to a latching mechanism, energy is required only for valve state switching.

Microvalve Arrays

Microvalve arrays are used for achieving maximum packing density with only 3 mm pitch per valve. Embedded in custom-designed fluidic manifolds, they can enable any fluidic architecture in smaller dimensions than ever before!

Custom Microvalves

memetis offers custom microvalve development for customer-specific pressure and flow rate requirements, necessary electronic interfaces, valve materials, channel orifices and housing design.

On-Chip Valve Actuation

Our SMA actuator modules allow operating on-chip valves and pumps, offering an all-in-one external flow control solution for disposable microfluidic devices.

Proportional Control Valves

memetis SMA valves are unique with their proportional control capability. With the right integration and closed-loop current control, the intermediate switching positions can be unlocked!

proportional control capabilities of memetis valves stem from the intrinsic switching properties of the shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators
