About Student Organ Bath (Double Unit)
Student Organ Bath (Double Unit) KFW
A Perspex organ bath with fine thermostatic temperature control, electronic stirrer and complete set of accessories, making it a versatile unit for all research work. Bath 1298, with leak proof dovetailed joints, resting in sturdy metal frame; top of the bath carries a 13/8 hick band, for fixing accessories, inside the bath is a metal sheathed heating element (easily replicable) controlled by means of a fine adjustable thermostat with sensitivity 1c. The stirrer unit is completely independent and dips in the bath in one corner, fixing on its special stainless steel upright. A M.S. Junction box is fitted to the bath frame and carries all the electrical leads and connections two pilot lamps indicate functioning of the thermostat and stirrer.
Standard components are:
Double set or glass inner vessels
Oxygen tubes
Warming coils
Two stainless steel capillary levers
Four stainless steel uprights with boss heads

Superior Thermal Control for Accurate ExperimentsEach organ bath chamber is equipped with a double-walled, stainless steel water jacket that maintains a stable, adjustable temperature (typically at 37C). This design ensures consistent experimental conditions across both chambers, critical for reliable physiological or pharmacological studies. Separate water jackets for each chamber guarantee uniformity and prevent cross-thermal interference.
Robust and Easy-to-Clean ConstructionMade from high-grade borosilicate glass with stainless steel covers, the Student Organ Bath Double Unit offers excellent durability and chemical resistance. Removable components and fitted lids with tubing ports simplify cleaning and allow easy maintenance, making the system practical for frequent use in educational and research settings.
Adaptable for Various Experimental NeedsThis equipment accommodates both isometric and isotonic transducers, making it suitable for a wide range of tissue and organ studies. Manual controls (levers and knobs) provide flexibility in conducting experiments, while mounting rods, tissue holders, and air tubing included in the package streamline the experimental process for students and researchers alike.
FAQs of Student Organ Bath (Double Unit) :
Q: How can the temperature be adjusted and maintained in the Student Organ Bath Double Unit?
A: Temperature adjustment is achieved using the low-voltage immersion heater, which is safely isolated and integrated within the double-walled water jackets. Each chambers water jacket is independently controlled, allowing precise maintenance of experimental temperatures, typically set at 37C for physiological studies.
Q: What types of experiments are suitable for this organ bath system?
A: The Student Organ Bath Double Unit is ideal for isolated tissue or organ research, physiology, and pharmacology experiments. It enables students and researchers to study the effects of drugs or conditions on muscle contractions, using specimens up to 80 mm in length in each chamber.
Q: When should the removable components be cleaned, and how is this done?
A: It is recommended to clean the organ baths removable components after each use to prevent contamination and preserve equipment integrity. Cleaning involves detaching the glass chambers, stainless steel covers, and tubing, rinsing them thoroughly with appropriate lab cleaning agents, and ensuring all parts are completely dry before reassembly.
Q: Where should the Student Organ Bath Double Unit be installed?
A: This instrument is designed for benchtop use in laboratories, typically in educational institutions, research facilities, or teaching hospitals. It operates efficiently in standard laboratory humidity and conditions, requiring access to a 220V AC, 50 Hz power supply.
Q: What process is involved in setting up an experiment using the organ bath?
A: Setting up involves filling each chamber with solution, positioning tissue specimens using included holders, attaching required transducers for measurement, connecting air tubing for aeration, and manually adjusting heating and aeration using the provided controls. The fitted lids and ports facilitate easy sample and gas handling throughout the experiment.
Q: How is accuracy ensured during experiments?
A: Accuracy relies on the proper calibration of the attached measuring devices such as isometric or isotonic transducers. Consistent temperature, stable aeration, and reliable mechanical controls provided by the bath contribute to reproducible and precise experimental data.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this double unit for student demonstrations and research?
A: Key benefits include dual chambers allowing parallel specimen testing, robust construction for longevity, precise thermal and aeration control, ease of cleaning, and flexible manual operation. These features foster effective learning and reliable experimental outcomes in teaching and laboratory environments.
