A versatile oxygenator and perfusion system for magnetic resonance studies.
A compact, reusable membrane oxygenator has been constructed for the perfusion of cultured cells and isolated organs. While the oxygenator was designed to be compatible with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy studies, it can also be used for any experiment which requires warming and oxygenation of perfusates. For the NMR studies, the oxygenator can be positioned at the opening of the magnet bore which allows oxygenation and warming of the perfusate immediately prior to delivery to the tissue, therefore eliminating problems with heat or oxygen loss which may occur with the long perfusion lines.
