Designed in collaboration with cardiovascular research scientists Tried and tested for over eight years!

THE MYOBATH SYSTEM
WPI's popular multi-channel isolated tissue bath system (MYOBATH) was developed in collaboration with top cardiovascular research scientists over a period of several years. The result is a state-of-the-art easy-to-use, cost-effective system for the in vitro study of smooth muscle (vascular and non-vascular), cardiac muscle and other tissue preparations. The MYOBATH provides the only complete solution to tissue bath studies and is available in 2, 3 and 4 channel configurations. Each configuration is sold as a complete ready-to-use assembly consisting of; highly quality PVC heavy base, stainless steel vertical posts, WPI's unique integrated tissue aeration and stimulation manifold, holding brackets, micrometers, tissue holders and hooks, tissue baths, force transducers, accessories (i.e. tubing, clamps, cables and tissue/stimulation adapters) and we even include WPI's famous four-channel Transbridge transducer amplifier!

The modular design allows up to four individually mounted organ baths to be studied simultaneously. Multiple systems (i.e. more than 4) can be linked together if more bath setups are required. The convenient compact bench-top design of MYOBTAH enables the system to be readily located virtually anywhere.

MYOBATH can also be supplied with an optional water heater/circulator, gravity-fed buffer pre-warming system, transducers, bridge amplifiers, stimulators, PC-based data-acquisition system and chart recorders.
MYOBATH KEY FEATURES
MICRO TISSUE HOLDERS & MINIATURE TISSUE BATH STIMULATION/AERATION MANIFOLD
GRAVITY FED BUFFER PRE-WARMING SYSTEM MICROMETER HEADS
L-SHAPED NITRIC OXIDE SENSORS TISSUE HOLDERS
OPTIONAL HEATING CIRCULATOR test
ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS Transducers/amplifiers: The myobath is designed to be used together with WPI's force transducers, including the FORT100 (full scale, 100 grams) or the FORT 25 (full scale 25 grams, recommended for most work). These transducers can be directly connected to either the 4-channel Transbridge™ amplifier or the more advanced 8-channel Bridge8 amplifiers.
Stimulators: A number of WPI's stimulators (A300, A310) and stimulus isolators (A360, A365, A385) are ideally suited for use with the organ bath system.
