Isolated heart perfusion systems
Systems developed and distributed by our company provide a wide range for in-vitro heart examination. Our systems can be used for experiments on any laboratory animal without significant alterations. Devices developed by our company can be classified based on physical features:
|
|
The systems are manufactured in one- and two-buffer designs. The constant pressure necessary for the operation of the dissection (mouse, rat, guinea pig or rabbit heart) are provided by the liquid column located in the reservoir. The warmth of the system (0,1°C) is ensured by a high-flow rate transporting, 20 liters volume thermostat (CWB-02). |

Pump-controlled heart perfusion systems The systems are manufactured in one- and two-buffer designs. They require small space and the same device (pump) can be used for constant pressure and flow. The retrofication of certain components of the gravitational systems resulted in the reduced size of the pump-controlled systems, which increased the stability of liquid-flow, while reducing the consumption of the saline and the examined compound. Pump-controlled systems are easier to repair and clean |

Compact pump-controlled heart perfusion system The compact pump-controlled heart-perfusion system is a closed, integrated system, placed in a water-circulation self-thermostated fluid tank. The water bath solution completely isolates the system from the ambient temperature. Another advantage is the removable heart suspending unit, which provides the most optimal suspension solution for laboratory animal hearts. With the minimal space requirement, the system is suitable to perform constant pressure and flow, or Janicki-type working heart modes. |
