Where Control Meets Conservation: Enhancing Tissue Viability

Optimizing Tissue Viability Starts with the Smartest Tools

In vascular studies, tissue viability is non-negotiable. Every data point—from contraction strength to reproducibility and biological relevance—depends on the quality of your tissue sample. 

Kent Scientific’s low/flexible-flow rodent anesthesia systems minimize tissue stress by reducing isoflurane exposure—preserving vascular tone and cellular metabolism—while conserving resources through low anesthetic consumption, supporting the 3Rs of animal research, and offering flexible, portable use with oxygen, ambient air, or a mix of both.

That’s why Kent Scientific systems are a perfect match with your DMT Myograph and Organ Bath Systems.

The Synergy: DMT + Kent Scientific Anesthesia

Tissue Stress Minimization

• Traditional anesthetics at high doses can impair vascular tone and alter cellular metabolism. Kent Scientific’s low-flow anesthesia systems are designed for rodent use. This limits isoflurane exposure, reducing systemic stress and preserving more physiologically accurate responses in isolated tissues.

Conservation of Resources

• Smart science is sustainable science. Kent’s systems minimise anesthetic consumption, supporting the 3Rs—Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement—in animal research.
  The portable systems can be used with oxygen or ambient air – or a mix.

Added to this, DMT’s precision-engineered sample chambers enable maximum data yield with minimal use of drugs and reagents.
