Applying and maintaining physiological pressures in cannulated blood vessels is a key factor in vascular research. Precise control of pressure, with or without intraluminal flow, is a paramount necessity. Our pressure instrumentation is designed to establish, control, and measure the intraluminal pressure during an experiment.
Our vessel chambers are precision machined from inert plastic that has chemical and physical properties superior to acrylics, and is more economical than stainless steel.

The CH-1 is Living System’s most versatile chamber design, and is ideal for experiments requiring vessel diameter measurements. This chamber is well-suited for use in widefield and confocal fluorescence microscopy, or standard transmitted light microscopy, and allows visualization of blood vessels as small as 30 µm in diameter. Living System’s temperature controller (TC-09S) can be used to directly control or monitor bath temperature. For monitoring or controlling bath temperature, a bath thermistor sensor (THRS) is also required. Check out Living System’s self-heated single vessel chamber package (CH-1-SH) for self-heating temperature control applications.
Specifications Bath Volume: 3-8 ml |  |
| The CH-2 chamber is used to optimize experimental throughput, allowing two vessels to be mounted side by side. This chamber can be used for wide-field or confocal fluorescence microscopy, as well as standard transmitted light microscopy. The dual vessel chamber is ideal for bioassay work where perfusate from one vessel is routed to the adjacent vessel. It allows visualization of blood vessels as small as 30 µm in diameter. Living System’s temperature controller (TC-09D) can be used to directly control or monitor bath temperature. For monitoring or controlling bath temperature, a bath thermistor sensor (THRS) is also required for each of the two vessel baths. Check out Living System’s self-heated dual vessel chamber package (LS-CH-2-SH) for self-heating temperature control applications. Features

| The CH-1-LIN Linear Alignment Vessel Chamber represents Living System’s latest design for their arteriograph line. Living System’s has incorporated three-axis (X-Y-Z) linear controls on both the proximal and distal cannulae arms. Cannulae can be easily aligned in three-dimensional space in just seconds using the simple thumb screws. No special tools are needed. The chamber is ideal for new users of pressure arteriographs, because alignment of the cannulae has been greatly simplified. Key Features:
|   |
| In some cases, such as when using expensive peptides or other drugs, bath superfusion is not an option. These applications call for minimizing the volume of bath fluid to keep the amount of reagents used to a minimum. In these cases, heating the bath to physiological temperatures can be problematic. However, with Living System’s single vessel chamber (CH-1) and temperature controller (TC-09S), you can heat the vessel chamber directly to physiological temperatures. This package contains everything needed to conduct these self-heating studies in a single vessel chamber. Package Components

| This axially rotating single vessel chamber rotates the vessel to image adjacent cell structures using confocal or Nomarski optics. This is useful for injections of caged agents and observation after inversion. The angled cannula holders bring the vessel close to the coverslip for simultaneous diameter and fluorescence measurements, and pressure and perfusion is maintained during the rotation. Optional standard cannula holders (RCH) can be used in this chamber. It is ideally suited for larger diameter vessels with longer lengths because it has a longer bath. Advantages
Specifications Bath Volume: 6–10 ml |  |
| This chamber is designed for rapid freezing or fixation of a cannulated and pressurized vessel for biochemical or morphometric studies. One section of the CH-1-QT contains the experimental chamber where a superfused vessel may be examined for its diameter responses to pharmacological agents, pressure, flow, etc. A glass coverslip allows visualization of the vessel for lumen diameter and wall measurements using the video dimension analyzer (VDA-10). The other section has a well that a removable tray fits into. A lever arm is used to quickly transfer (~1 sec) the vessel and its tubing connections from the chamber to the tray. In this way, the physiological state of the vessel (pressure, myogenic tone, etc) can be maintained during the freezing or fixation process. The CH-1-QT will readily tolerate the low temperature of an acetone-dry ice freezing solution, liquid nitrogen, or various fixing solutions. Specifications Bath Volume: 6-10ml |   |

The PM-4 is ideally suited for isolated, perfused vessel studies to aid the investigator in ensuring that a perfused vessel is exposed to a desired physiological pressure. The device has two pressure input channels, enabling the measurement of upstream and downstream pressure, average pressure, and pressure differential across a cannulated blood vessel. It can also be used for measuring the pressures at two locations in a vessel bed or isolated tissue. In conjunction with Living System’s pressure servo controller (PS-200), a transmural vessel pressure or a perfusion pressure may automatically be maintained during perfusion. The PM-4 also features four analog voltage outputs, which can be used to record pressure on both pressure channels, the pressure differential between the two pressure inputs, and the average of both pressure inputs. Includes two pressure transducers (PT-F). Specifications Pressure range: 0 to 200 mmHg; 0.1 mmHg resolution; ± 1% linearity; 3 |   |
| The PM-P-1 is designed to accurately monitor and subsequently record any single physiological pressure. It is ideal for use in many settings and requires no electrical outlet. It features an analog voltage output that can be recorded on your data acquisition system and comes equipped with long life batteries. A PT-F Pressure Transducer is included. Specifications
|  |
| The pressure servo controller with peristaltic pump is used to precisely control the intravascular pressure in isolated cannulated blood vessels. Many other uses are also possible, including maintaining pressure in isolated organ beds, gastrointestinal tissue, urinary tract, or lymphatics. This instrument is ideally suited for examination of myogenic responsiveness of isolated cannulated blood vessels. Use the PS-200 to achieve either a constant pressure (pressure mode; 0 to 200 mmHg) or a constant flow rate (flow mode; 3 µl/min to 2.4 ml/min, depending on tube set used—see FC-TS). The PS-200 comes with one piece of FC-TS-031 tubing, one piece of FC-TS-093 tubing, and one PT-F pressure transducer. In the pressure mode of operation, a flow-through pressure transducer placed in-line with the blood vessel, or other biological preparation, senses the pressure and a miniature peristaltic pump operates to maintain pressure at the user-specified set-point. In the flow mode of operation, the peristaltic pump supplies a user-defined constant flow rate, and the pressure transducer monitors perfusion pressure. Pressure is indicated directly in mmHg on a digital panel meter in both modes, and is available as an analog output voltage for data acquisition. Pressure or flow set-points may also be programmed through an external voltage signal applied to the instrument. Specifications
|    |
| This miniature peristaltic pump delivers precise volume flow rates over a range determined by the setting of two calibrated potentiometer controls, and the tube set size chosen. It is similar to the pump used in the pressure servo control unit (PS-200). Features
Specifications Volume flow range: 3 µl/min–2.4 ml/min Power DC supply or |   |
| The FI-1 provides a digital readout of the flow rate delivered by the FC flow control pump or the PS-200 pressure servo control pump. Flow rate can be monitored directly on the front-panel meter in µl/min, or using the analog voltage output signal, which is compatible with most data acquisition systems. The FI-1 also has a connector that enables remote control of flow rate using a D/A output or other analog voltage source. Specifications Flow rate: 0–25 through 0–500 µl/min ranges |   |
| This quality peristaltic pump is ideal for vessel bath superfusion. The pump includes two flow heads, one for delivering solution to the bath (inflow), and one for removing fluid from the bath (outflow).

| Living System’s thermal circulating bath is an economical heating circulator that includes the immersion heater unit, water bath, and circulating pump. The unit has a small footprint and low profile. Living System’ssearched many suppliers before we arrived at this unit, which delivers solid performance and economical prices. Specifications Reservoir capacity: 6 L |  |
| Living System’s temperature controllers feature unsurpassed thermoregulatory performance. A novel control algorithm results in quicker time to reach set point (6–10 min, from 22 ºC to 37 ºC). Living System’s temperature controllers now feature analog outputs that produce signals compatible with most data acquisition systems. The thermostat control can also be disabled, allowing the TC-09S to be used as a temperature monitoring and recording device (using the analog output). The TC-09S is designed to control the bath temperature in Living System’s CH-1 single vessel chambers under steady-state conditions, when bath superfusion is not used. This is particularly useful when you have a stagnant bath with a HEPES or MOPS buffered saline solution. The temperature controller is not able to regulate bath temperature in the presence of bath superfusion. In that case, it is preferable to use a heat exchanger in your superfusion line to warm the bath saline just before it enters the vessel bath. Specification Power: 120 V or 220 V |

| Video Camera – HDMI These high-quality video cameras are perfect for measuring blood vessel diameter using Living Systems Instrumentation video dimension analyzer (VDA-10), which only processes the luma portion of the video signal (“gray scale”), regardless of camera type (color or monochrome) used. With this camera package, the HDMI camera output is converted to the standard composite video signal that is delivered to Living Systems VDA-10 over a BNC cable. This package contains the following items: video camera, HDMI cable, and HDMI to composite (analog) video converter. Note that the HDMI signal does not go directly to a monitor; it must pass through the composite video converter to be processed by the VDA-10. Specifications

| Video Dimension Analyzer This hardware edge detector tracks blood vessel diameter, and left and right wall thicknesses using an analog video signal. The principle of the instrument is based on sensing optical density changes of the vessel image at a chosen scan line seen on the TV monitor. The VDA-10 is well-suited for applications where a recording of blood vessel diameter and wall thickness is required. The VDA-10 tracks vessels ranging from 50 to 350 µm in diameter. In some cases, particularly larger vessels, or those with thick walls, only the outside diameter can be measured. These measurements are displayed on digital panel meters, and analog voltage outputs provide signals suitable for recording using most popular lab data acquisition systems (e.g., DAQ-PRO-U). Changes in blood vessel dimensions (constriction or dilation) are followed in real time. Applications

| Living System’s offer 4 packages (1, 2, 4 or 8 channels) that are useful for applications requiring electric field stimulation. Each package includes a constant current stimulator(s), power supply cabinet, computer interface card, CATSTIM software, and interface cables. The output of each stimulator is accessible via a BNC connector. Features

| The extravascular pressure (EvP) in the sealed chamber is sensed by a solid-state pressure transducer. The signal from this transducer is connected to the pressure control unit where it is compared with either the internal pressure signal set by the pressure dial, or one of the external pressure signals fed into either the function generator or signal generator input jacks. Any difference between these two signals regulates the electronic servo valve output pressure so that the two pressures are the same. Internal Pressure Signal Mode The signal corresponding to the pressure dial setting calibrated in mmHg establishes the extravascular chamber pressure. This pressure is sustained until a new pressure is selected. The panel meter reading shows the chosen extravascular pressure in mmHg which can be accessed for data acquisition at the rear panel pressure signal jack. External Pressure Signal Mode Various extravascular pressure waveshapes can be created to match external input signals in this mode. The actual extravascular pressure can be accessed for data acquisition at the rear panel pressure signal jack. Specifications
