About Duetting Technologies
Duetting Technologies UG was founded in 2020 by Andreas Dütting in Greven and specializes in piezoelectrically actuated high-precision valves for ultrahigh vacuum technology. The core product PRV (Piezoelectrically Actuated High-Precision Valve) is a fine metering valve with a sapphire-sapphire sealing surface, DN40CF flange and integrated onboard electronics that powers itself entirely via the 0-10V control signal and is connected to DAQ systems via a BNC interface. The company covers mechanical design, production and integration of cryogenic and vacuum components, among other things for SNSPDs (superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors). The foundation is the founder's more than 21 years of experience at IONTOF Technologies in piezo actuators and cryotechnology with liquid nitrogen. Distribution is handled worldwide via the distribution partner AMT.
