SUMMARY
A simple method which maintains the hydraulic pressure at a constant level during fixation of organs by perfusion is described. This is obtained by means of a glass tube interposed between a peristaltic pump and the organ to be perfused, the specially designed glass tube acting as a safety valve. The efficiency of the system is tested by electromagnetic pressure recording.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
