Working Heart Ultimate System for Mice

The ML880B56-V Working Heart Ultimate System for Mice provides all the glassware and acquisition hardware to collect and analyze data from the isolated heart of mice.

• The glassware features a water-jacketed heart chamber and water-jacketed perfusion lines to ensure that the perfusate solution and the isolated heart are maintained at a constant temperature.
• The 16-channel ML880/P PowerLab 16/30 is ideal for recording data from isolated heart experiments and includes ADInstruments LabChart and LabChart Pro analysis software.
• The system includes Mikro-Tip pressure catheters along with an inline Transonic flow system.

Parameters recorded and analyzed using LabChart and LabChart Pro Modules include left ventricular pressure and end-diastolic pressure, Max and Min dP/dt, cardiac electrical activity (ECG), heart rate, flow, pH and oxygen concentration. See the Working Heart Preparations research application page for more information.

Advantages of the this Working Heart System include:

• Easy integration of acquisition hardware and analysis software
  
• Modular construction enables easy updating/substitution of chamber sizes
• Water-jacketed heart chambers and tubing ensures uniform circulation and heating
• Threaded cap on High-Tech Heart Chamber minimizes temperature loss and features locking ports for cannulae and additional measuring devices
• May be used in single-pass perfusion or recirculation modes
• Easy-to-use "Quick Disconnect" fittings

Ordering Information: When ordering the ML880B51/S-V please specify the following:
Mains Power (V) = 115 for 110-115V or 220 for 220-240V

Please Note:

• Countries with 115V power service, the Thermo circulator requires a 20 AMPS outlet.
• Countries with 220V power service, the Thermo circulator requires a 15 AMPS outlet.
