Four-channel modular tissue bath system An isolated tissue bath is a chamber in which isolated tissues can be administered with drugs or stimulated electrically in order to measure their function. The tissue in the organ bath is typically oxygenated with carbogen and kept in a solution such as Krebs-Henseleit, Tyrode or lactated Ringer solution. It is used in pharmacology/physiology research, particularly when studying the contraction of smooth muscle in tissues such as ileum, colon, vas deferens, trachea, bladder, corpus cavernosum, and blood vessels such as aortic rings or strips. The contraction of smooth muscle tissues can be readily measured via suitable force/displacement transducer and recorded by computerized data acquisition system.
