TISSUE ORGAN BATH SYSTEMS - GENERAL

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• The multi channel organ bath system is the hallmark of the drive for productivity and result in academic and in industry research labs.

• The DMT version expand on the classic design with extensive automation of fluid control, programmable washing routines, integrated data acquisition and being GLP capable. All these features increase research throughout, reproducibility in a more hands off approach so laboratory personnel can focus on data analysis rather than washing glassware.

• Applications are numerous thanks to a range programmable force transducer, from small blood vessel to large muscle strips or rings from bladder, lung or GI system.

​

• Add on options include custom shaped stimulation electrodes and current stimulation electrodes and current stimulators to match your tissue.

An isolated organ bath assay is the classical pharmacological screening tool to assess concentration-response relationships in contractile tissue. Although a variety of molecular tools have become available in recent decades to assess cellular responses in high-throughput quantities, the organ bath assay is still considered a valuable tool for lead optimization and for the elucidation of the mechanism of action. In addition, organ bath assays are widely used in preclinical safety studies.​

The most common application of the organ bath assay is in cardiovascular research, using isolated aortic rings, heart tissue (papillary muscle, left ventricles) or arteries. For studying gastro-intestinal effects, preparations of ileum and colon are often used, but also gastric antral muscle and sphincter may be studied. 
             
Respiratory effects can be studied in isolated tracheal rings, phrenic diaphragm preparations, pulmonary arterial smooth muscle and even lung parenchyma. Other smooth muscle preparations that are used in organ bath research are urinary bladder, penile muscle strips and prostate.
