Open the catalog to page 2Abdominal ORGAN PERFUSION S Y S T E M S Hugo Sachs Elektronik (HSE), part of the Harvard Bioscience family of companies, provides top-notch, fully integrated physiology research systems, including perfusion and tissue bath systems for many organ and tissue types. This catalog contains all the information you need to choose an optimal isolated abdominal organ system for your research. These comprehensive and complete systems are modular in design, providing the flexibility to tailor a system to fit your specific needs. Whether you need a complete isolated organ system or an addition to a...
Open the catalog to page 3CONFIGURING AN ISOLATED PERFUSED ORGAN SYSTEM Typical setup of complete Autoclavable Moist Chamber System rgans within the body are designed to perform different, specialized functions that work in unison to maintain homeostasis in a living organism. Despite their differences, similar conditions are required to study organs in isolation. These requirements include controlled temperature, a nutrient or buffer at physiological pH, aeration for the buffer, a perfusion pump to move the buffer and a system with a chamber to hold the isolated organ. Some organs may require additional equipment...
Open the catalog to page 4Perfusion Pressure Perfusion Flow Portal Vein Roller Pump Transducer Amplifier Module Waste Perfusate is pumped from the reservoir into the portal vein or hepatic artery (not shown) using an analog peristaltic (roller) pump. A windkessel is installed in order to dampen the roller pump’s pulsations. Perfusion pressure and perfusion flow can be adjusted and are measured. Constant flow and constant pressure perfusion can be performed by the Servo Controller (SCP). A pressure transducer (P) together with the TAM-D constantly monitors the perfusion pressure. The perfusion flow is calculated from...
