Radnoti Tissue-Organ Bath Base Kits
Overview
Radnoti Tissue Organ Baths are known for their quality construction and are suitable for both research and teaching applications using high quality borosilicate glass. Their modular design provides flexibility of use and allows easy expansion when needed.
Currently, they are supplied as base kits that allow easy and flexible customization to your application. Simply match your desired number of simultaneous tissue experiments with the corresponding base kit. Then choose the corresponding number of tissue chambers from a wide selection of tissue chamber sizes and types. Next select the corresponding sized single ring clamps and compatible tissue hooks (for tissue strips) or lower and upper supports (for tissue rings).
The base kits provide a sturdy Radnoti Lab Stand and Universal Stand Clamps, which allow easy attachment or detachment of glassware components for cleaning. They include Radnoti Transducer Positioner for the attachment and vertical tension adjustment of force transducers. Their Quick-Disconnect water-jacketed design coupled with a suitable Radnoti Thermal Bath/Circulator (purchased separately) can offer precise temperature control (<0.01 °C error) and a convenient 15 minute warm-up time. Otherwise tubing adapters are also included to allow connection of the heated water circuit to your desired compatible heated circulator. The tissue chambers can either be operated in traditional wash-in & wash-out or a constant flow perfusion, which can either be via a gravity fed or pump controlled perfusion (purchased separately).
Compatible tissue chambers include:
1583 Series Tissue Organ Baths (2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, and 300 mL)
1585 Series Tissue Bath with Built In Electrodes (2, 5, and 10 mL)
1660 Series Hi-Tech Tissue Organ Baths (2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 200 mL)
1650 Series “Q” Quiet Tissue Organ Baths (25 and 50 mL)
A complete research system can be easily configured by additionally adding:
- A compatible Thermal Bath/Circulator
- Either isometric or isotonic force transducers from a wide range, ensuring that its sensitivity ranges are suitable for the type of tissue you’ll be using
- A Bridge Amp with the corresponding number of required channels
- Stimulators and stimulating electrodes
- PowerLab data acquisition system options, and LabChart analysis software.

Thermal Bath/Circulator allows temperature control in the range from ambient temperature to 120°C.
1660 Series Hi-Tech Tissue Organ Bath comes in a variety of sizes, is water-jacketed, and provides a port for an oxygenating tube similar to the 1583 Series. However, this chamber series also offers a separate fill port with a warming coil, and an overflow port for plumbing into the system's overflow circuit to prevent the perfusate from overflowing the chamber.

Alternative options:
1585 Series Tissue Bath with Built-In Electrodes
The standard Radnoti borosilicate glass tissue hook, which are available in a range of sizes to suit different Tissue Organ Bath sizes.
Also available:
Tissue Ring Supports designed specifically for mounting tissue ring samples such as aortic, intestinal, vascular, or tissue ring segments.
Tissue Clips designed to simplify the tedious task of mounting a sample tissue to a tissue hook and a force transducer.
Platinum Stimulating Electrodes: A wide range of field stimulating electrodes are available.
Two-Way Teflon Needle Valve "Y" Manifold splits a single gas source to two gassing lines and is used to balance the gas flow between different oxygenation circuits. Used in most Radnoti systems.
Oxygenating Bubbler with perfusate inlet port for water-jacketed reservoirs. Provides ports for attaching overflow circuits to flow back into the reservoir, oxygenates the perfusate in the reservoir, and vents the reservoir. Used with all Radnoti systems and offered in a variety of sizes to match different sized reservoirs.
Water-Jacketed Reservoir used to store, warm, and oxygenate perfusate for the perfusion circuits. Offered in a variety of volume sizes, and used with all Radnoti systems.
*2 Liter pictured
Sensitive isometric force transducer, ideal for isolated tissue studies where small forces up to 20 g are expected.
Also available:
Force Transducer (0-2g)
LabChart and LabChart Pro Software
Creates a platform allowing you to acquire biological signals from multiple sources simultaneously and apply advanced calculations and plots.
A four-channel, non-isolated bridge amplifier designed to allow a C Series Front End Inteface or traditional PowerLab to connect to most DC bridge transducers.
Converts analog data from existing (and majority of legacy) ADInstruments Front-Ends such as Bridge Amps and Bio-Amps, so that they can be digitally sampled by the PowerLab C.
