advanced research tissue bath systems Graz Tissue Bath System (continued) Graz Tissue Bath System The Graz Organ Bath can be used for many standard pharmacological experiments. This apparatus was originally developed for experiments on small isolated vascular rings (1 to 2 mm dia.) with special attention to a low incubation volume of the medium. The smallest tissue vessel available has a volume of 2 ml. The muscle contractions produced in these experiments can be measured either as forces (isometrically) or as displacements (isotonically). The organ bath is also available in variable versions....
