FAQ's of Mammalian Heart Perfusion Assembly:
Q: How should the Mammalian Heart Perfusion Assembly be cleaned after use?
A: The assembly is modular and can be easily disassembled for thorough cleaning. Components such as the reservoir bottle, heart chamber, and tubing can be detached and washed with laboratory-grade cleaning solutions. Always ensure all parts are thoroughly dried before reassembly.
Q: What is the main benefit of the jacketed heart chamber in this assembly?
A: The jacketed heart chamber allows precise external temperature control using a circulating water jacket. This feature ensures the heart is maintained at physiologically relevant temperatures, which is critical for accurate perfusion experiments.
Q: When is it necessary to use the sintered glass diffuser in the oxygenation chamber?
A: The sintered glass diffuser should be used whenever even oxygen distribution in the perfusate is required. This ensures that the mammalian heart receives adequately oxygenated fluid, which is essential for maintaining organ viability during experiments.
Q: Where can this assembly be used effectively?
A: This perfusion assembly is suitable for use in laboratories focused on pharmacology, physiology, biomedical research, and academic teaching. Its robust construction and safety compliance make it ideal for a wide range of controlled laboratory environments.
Q: What is the process for setting up the heart perfusion assembly?
A: Begin by assembling the base and mounting stand, install the heart chamber, reservoir bottle, and oxygenation chamber, then connect all tubing and accessories. Fill the reservoir with perfusate, set up the heating system, and adjust oxygen and drip settings according to protocol. Refer to the manual for stepwise instructions.
Q: How does the precision bore perfusion tube improve experimental outcomes?
A: The precision bore tube ensures a uniform flow rate of perfusate through the heart chamber, minimizing fluctuations that could affect experimental accuracy. This consistency is particularly valuable for pharmacological and physiological investigations.
Q: What are the key advantages of using this perfusion assembly over standard equipment?
A: Key benefits include modular design for easy cleaning and maintenance, reliable temperature and flow control, non-corrosive materials, and compliance with laboratory safety standards. The robust accessories and precise controls support reproducible, high-quality research.
