20130040324 | PERIFUSION DEVICE - A perifusion device includes at least one sample container for cells, the sample container having an inlet and an outlet. The container receives test liquid through the inlet and discharges the liquid through the outlet. A manifold having a plurality of liquid inlets, control valves, and liquid outlets can be provided. A receptacle housing has a plurality of receptacles. A drive is connected to the receptacle housing for moving the receptacle housing. A programmable controller can be provided to control movement of the receptacle housing. The test liquid includes at least one stimuli for the cells. The liquid collected in the receptacles is analyzed to determine the response of the cells to the stimuli. | 02-14-2013 |
20110108602 | ANASTOMOSIS SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system for performing anastomosis includes a plurality of staples, an annular staple support having structure for holding the staples, and a staple closing device for closing the staples to secure the canal ends together. A method for performing anastomosis and staples for performing anastomosis are also disclosed. | 05-12-2011 |
20110020856 | PERIFUSION DEVICE - A perifusion device includes at least one sample container for cells, the sample container having an inlet and an outlet. The container receives test liquid through the inlet and discharges the liquid through the outlet. A manifold having a plurality of liquid inlets, control valves, and liquid outlets can be provided so that the flow of liquids from source containers to the sample containers can be varied and controlled. A receptacle housing has a plurality of receptacles for receiving fluid from the outlet of the sample container. A drive is connected to the receptacle housing for moving the receptacle housing such that liquid samples are collected sequentially from the outlet of the sample containers. A programmable controller can be provided to control movement of the receptacle housing at predetermined times, and to record data identifying liquid samples in the receptacles. The test liquid includes at least one stimuli for the cells, which can be the presence, absence, or concentration of a compound in the liquid, or a physical property of the liquid such as temperature. The liquid collected in the receptacles is analyzed to determine the response of the cells to the stimuli. | 01-27-2011 |
20080286746 | PERFUSION APPARATUS AND METHOD - A perfusion apparatus for perfusing an organ includes a pump for pumping perfusion liquid though a perfusion liquid conduit, the conduit having an outlet. A pressure sensor senses the pressure of the perfusion liquid downstream of the pump and upstream of the outlet. A controller controls the output of the pump responsive to the pressure, so as to keep the pressure of the liquid reaching the organ substantially constant. | 11-20-2008 |
