The easy to use 4-channel Organ Bath 820MO is a flexible system for contraction/relaxation studies of isolated smooth, skeletal, or cardiac tissue.
- System construction is robust (no glass components)
- Small footprint making it portable. Ideal for labs with limited space or for easy sharing between researchers.
- Simple tissue mounting, easy to operate, easy to maintain
- Highly sensitive force transducers provide data that is accurate and reproducible
Easy-clean chambers are made of acid resistant stainless steel which prevents lipids from sticking to its surface. Systems are well suited to intensive and long term use.
Flexible, feature-rich for diverse pharmacology research
- For a diverse range of experiments using isolated vessel rings (>500 µm) or muscle strips (<20 mm).
- Controlled environment, tissue segments are kept in a heated and oxygenated perfusate to maintain tissue viability. Contraction and relaxation are measured using precision isometric force transducers.
- Collects highly sensitive data from vessel rings or muscle strips (including aortic rings, trachea, veins, uterine, colon, ileum, diaphragm etc).
- Easy to adjust force range for a wide range of experiments. The sensitive force transducer measures isometric vessel and muscle contractions.
- Micrometers allow accurate pre-load setting.
- Microscopic observation of tissue is easy; chambers are removable for quick transfer to a microscope.
- Drugs and reagents can be added directly to the compact stainless steel chamber to assess function
Easy to use, time saving features
- Fast setup and tissue mounting facilitated by open chamber design .
- Integrated force transducer eliminates the need to change transducers every time a different tissue is mounted.
- Integrated vacuum and gas bubbling ports.
- Automatic chamber refilling is available as an option.
Compact, portable system saves lab space & reduces messy accidents
-
Perfect for labs with limited or multidisciplinary space. The robust systems are not bulky and fragile. They are easily moved or shared with other researchers.
-
Unlike other organ baths, it does not contain glass. It is not fragile, so there are no messy and potentially dangerous accidents involving glasss.
Automation for high throughput screening
-
Add the Automatic Buffer Filler System – 625FS for throughput screening such as drug testing or experiments requiring the separation of tissue preparations in individual baths.
Direct data streaming
-
Save data directly to your computer using LabChart Pro data analysis software by ADInstruments or use the 820MO with your preferred data acquisition system.
Reduces drug and reagent costs
-
Some drugs and reagents can be expensive or difficult to obtain. The compact chamber with a volume size of 4 – 8ml significantly reduces the quantity of compounds that are required using traditional systems. This can provide significant cost savings.
Easy cleaning and maintenance
-
Cleaning can be as easy as a few washes!
