The
EZ-Bath™, the most user friendly, cost-effective
4-channel tissue/organ bath systems in the market. The state-of-the-art
tissue bath is designed, based on many years of combined experiences of
various scientists. The EZ-Bath™ can be
used for studies of vascular or non-vascular tissues, skeletal or smooth
muscles, cardiac tissues/organs (e.g. atria, papillary, sinus node), and
other isolated biological tissue or organ preparations. The EZ-Bath™
features multiple innovative, proprietary functions that ease the tissue/organ
studies, efficiently producing more consistent data than any other systems
in the market. At the heart of the system is a versatile mounting platform,
on a mounting/control (M/C) bracket, for studying distinct types and sizes
of tissue or organ samples with ease. Among the innovative functions are
consistent point-of-force application, reliable contractile signal transduction
even for mini-contractile, tissue tension micro-adjustment (as fine as
5 microns, see McPherson, 1992), modular tissue holders with or without
embedded miniature stimulation electrodes, and a multi-function adjustment
feature. The multi-function adjustment is designed to ease tissue mounting
and to accommodate different types and sizes of tissue preparations. The
micro-adjustment features, along with other innovations, improve experimental
consistency among different tissue channels and across different experiments,
which is essential for statistical data analyses for bio-tissues/organs. |

| 2. The Versatility
and Miniature Tissue Holders The EZ-Bath™ features a series of proprietary, compact, exchangeable tissue mounting devices, the MV, LV and TS™ series tissue holders. These holders relay accurately the mechanical tension, contractility, and mobility of tissues under study, have embedded stimulation electrodes that generate consistent stimulation actions, and are suitable, in a single platform of exchangeable mounting, for studying various bio-tissue preparations ranging from large/small/micro diameter vessel rings (as small as 200µm in i.d.), skeletal muscle spindles, smooth muscle strips, to atria and other organ/tissue preparations, in our jacketed tissue baths as small 2ml in volume. |

3. The Simplicity and Efficiency: Reduced Tissue Hypoxia (1). Reducing Tissue Hypoxia By Easing & Quickening Tissue Mounting |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The EZ-Bath™ reduces tissue hypoxia by easing and quickening tissue mounting in two ways: vessels or strips can either be pre-mounted in oxygenated chamber on the one of the stretching leg and brought onto the transducer (shown above), or be mounted on pre-positioned top/bottom clamps, needles, hooks quickly and brought into position by using the second micrometer (shown below and on the right). |

When used in combination
with our isometric or isotonic force transducers, i-FOT™,
the low-noise lock-in bridge amplifier, BRAMP-4B, can measure
force as small as 0.5 milligrams and as large as 2000grams. The EZ-Bath™
system is compatible with transducers and bridge amplifiers manufactured
by many other suppliers. For more information, please contact GlobalTown.

Reduce Costs! EZ-Bath-4TD: Organ Baths, Amplifier and Data Acquisition in One |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() |
GlobalTown provides
a very cost-effective solution to the need for computerized data recording
and bridge-amplifications in a "one-box" solution, ThinkWave 1600-4/8
(see in the catalogue). The powerful data acquisition systems contain front-end
bridge amplifiers with gain up to x1000.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
EZ-Bath-4/8TD (EZ-Bath plus ThinkWave 1600) reduces system costs for digital recording and analysis of tissue baths' experimental data. The total system costs is only $5950 with additional discount for preferred institutions. All you need is a computer! 4-, 8-, or any
other number of channels with data acquisition system are also available.

Buffer Pre-Warming System Ease Tissue/Organ Bath Experiments |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The buffer pre-warming
system (PS) can be easily added to the EZ-Bath system (i.e. on the same
base plate), without the need for extra space, to shorten the buffer-warming
time and speed up experiments. |
