Isolated Organ Baths

Background

• Classic pharmacology tool for research and teaching. Maintains the integrity of live muscle tissue for several hours in a controlled environment and provides accurate recording of isometric or isotonic tissue contraction/release.
• For studying effects of drugs or electrical stimuli on isolated organs and smooth muscles (including uterus, trachea, gastrointestinal tract, vessel strips, auricle etc) under optimum conditions.

 Compact, smart design features

• Compact, cost effective, easy to use, turnkey solution with heating, circulation and transducer mount in each bath. Available in 1, 2, or 4 channel configurations with control box that enables pre-set temperature of 25-45°C in 0.1°C steps.
• Quick, easy mounting of tissue using an accurately positioned glass hook to which the thread loop can be easily attached, enabling the organ to be centered in the chamber.
• A precise solid state thermostat maintains the temperature within the limits of +/- 0.1ºC on all models.
• All components are visible through the clear Perspex.
• Tissue washing without exposure to air: Wash or test solution enters chamber after passing through the temperature equilibrating coils and the syringe valve. The tissue in the chamber is washed by flushing the chamber through an overflow drain tube, to avoid exposing the tissue to the air.
• Water stirring is accomplished by a water jet delivered by a noiseless vibration-free centrifugal pump. A stainless steel heating element is mounted on the Perspex tank floor.
• To expand the use of your organ bath system to perform even wider experiments, we can provide a complete line of Transducers (Isometric or Isotonic), chambers and accessories and a versatile 8-channel digital recorder, DataCapsule-Evo.
• An additional HV Stimulator can be added to the Isolated
