Langendorff Isolated Heart Perfusion

With the Langendorff isolated heart perfusion technique you can monitor an isolated heart while perfusing the coronary arteries with a nutrient solution. This allows you to record and  analyze multiple cardiac parameters such as left ventricular developed  pressure, perfusion pressure, cardiac electrical activity, heart rate and temperature all in real time.

ADInstruments' solutions support your use of the Langendorff animal heart perfusion technique to perfuse all sizes of heart models, from mice, rats, and guinea pigs, to porcine hearts.

  • Perfuse all sizes of heart models hearts from mice, rats and guinea pigs, to porcine hearts
  • Choose from a compact system which utilises a peristaltic pump and STH pump controller for constant flow and pressure or more traditional modular system
  • Maintain constant temperature with a heater water bath, water jacketed tubing, components and heart chamber
  • Easily switch between constant-pressure and constant flow modes to investigate coronary artery function while the heart beats spontaneously or with the help of an external stimulator

In conjunction with our complete Langendorff perfusion systems shown below, any device with an analog output (+/- 10V) can be connected to a PowerLab data acquisition system for synchronization of event in LabChart. So you have even more flexibility and can integrate all your data streams in one place.

All of our hardware is backed by the appropriate safety certification standards. More information on safety standards.

Signals Supported

Dissolved Gases
+

Easily detect gas thresholds with graphical aids like LabChart's Guide Lines and the DVM mini window, and use the Event Manager Add-On to automate the detection of gas thresholds.

dP/dT
+

dP/dt is a signal derived from pressure, typically ventricular blood pressure, that indicates the change in pressure over time.

ECG
+

Cardiac electrical activity from the myocardium can be monitored to assess myocardial damage to electrophysiological workings of the heart.

Heart Rate
+

Using pressure or electrical activity, monitor heart health by calculating heart rate.

Pressure
+

Coronary perfusion pressure and left ventricular developed pressure can be monitored during an isolated heart session to gauge myocardial performance.

Temperature
+

Ensure the maintenance of a proper physiological environment in your system, or investigate the impacts of temperature on performance.

Measuring aortic pressure in a Langendorff Heart preparation

'Perfusion pressure' and 'aortic pressure' are two terms used to describe one of the pressure parameters in a Langendorff Heart experiment.

To measure aortic pressure in a Langendorff heart preparation the perfusate in the perfusate reservoir is typically gassed with 95% O2 and 5% CO2 for at least 30 minutes. The perfusate then flows into the aorta of the heart via a 3-way tap. The catheter of the pressure transducer is also connected to the 3-way tap, which allows constant measurement of the perfusion/aortic pressure.
