Why Aquasyn

Why we've been chosen for 30 years.

01

Purpose-built for purity

We don't convert industrial valves to hygienic use. Every valve is conceived and executed specifically for high-purity processes, from the integral sealing ridge to the proprietary diaphragm extrusion.

02

Made in America since 1996

Every valve, every fitting, every custom-fabricated assembly is engineered and manufactured at our Carson City, Nevada facility. Same engineers. Same QC standards. For 30 years.

03

Real proprietary technology

Tork-Tite® Feet, Valbow®, eMaxion Actuator, Integral Sealing Ridge. Patented innovation, not marketing slogans, that solves real biopharma and high-purity engineering problems.

04

Trusted globally, supported locally

Distribution partners worldwide. Direct engineering support from Nevada. We pick up the phone.

Products

Engineered to a different standard.

Not industrial valves adapted for hygienic use. Hygienic valves designed from a blank sheet, for every high-purity industry that demands them.

Actuation

Three ways to actuate. The ARTēVA® pinch valve series.

One proven 316L stainless steel pinch head. Electric, pneumatic, or manual. Reusable mechanism, single-use tubing.

The three ARTēVA® pinch valve actuation options side by side: electric, pneumatic and manual, on one 316L stainless pinch head
Manufacturing capabilities

Every machined cut, every weld, every certificate. Engineered in-house.

Aquasyn’s US facility combines advanced machining with hands-on fabrication expertise. From concept drawings to finished assemblies.

Now part of Alphinity

Process specialists in bioprocessing.

In 2026, Aquasyn joined Alphinity, a bioprocessing platform engineering precision fluid handling for next-generation biotech. Aquasyn is the stainless-steel hygienic backbone of a portfolio that spans single-use components, bespoke systems, and end-to-end process engineering.

Industries Served

Wherever purity matters.

Hygienic engineering for any process where purity is non-negotiable. Biopharmaceutical manufacturing, water for injection, food and beverage, cosmetics, cultivated meat, and data-center cooling. One workshop. Same standards across every sector.

Proprietary Technology

Patented engineering that defines the category.

Aquasyn Tork-Tite Feet
PATENTED

Tork-Tite® Feet

Bonnet feet hold the diaphragm in fixed position with controlled compression. Zero leakage. Extended diaphragm life.

Aquasyn Valbow integrated valve and elbow
PATENTED

Valbow®

Integrated valve and elbow assembly. Combines valve and elbow fitting in one. Reduces fittings, leak points, and dead leg.

Aquasyn eMaxion Actuator
PROPRIETARY

eMaxion Actuator

Actuator system engineered for automated valve operation. Precision-aligned to our diaphragm valve body.

Aquasyn Integral Sealing Ridge
ENGINEERED

Integral Sealing Ridge

Machined directly onto the valve body at the flow chamber intersection. Eliminates entrapment crevices.

Our Story

30 years of hygienic engineering.
And we're just getting started.

From a sketch on a futon in 1996 to the Smithsonian Institution in 2013, Aquasyn has stood for one thing: hygienic valves and fittings purpose-built, not converted. This is our 30th year, and our most ambitious chapter yet, joining the Alphinity family of bioprocessing innovation.

1996
Aquasyn founded. Michael Gagne sketches the first hygienic sample valve. "A phone, a fax, and a futon" in the Bay Area.
2013
Manufacturing relocates to Carson City, Nevada. 6,614 sq ft facility. 17–20 manufacturing jobs.
2013-14
Smithsonian "Birth of Biotech" exhibit. Aquasyn glass sampling bottles and valves displayed at the National Museum of American History.
2018
Silver Forge Award from Northern Nevada Development Authority. Recognized for manufacturing in Northern Nevada.
2026
30 years. Aquasyn joins the Alphinity family as the trusted foundation of a new bioprocessing platform. New chapter. Same standard.
