1.3 TISSUE ORGAN BATH SYSTEM - 750 TOBS: CHAMBER Chamber detector Tissue chamber Air heating Sample holder (lower part shown) Figure A: 20ml Tissue chamber NOTE: The Chamber Detector registers when the tissue chamber is placed. If the chamber is placed correctly the blue indicator lamp will be lit and the tissue organ bath will work.

CHAPTER 2: SETTING UP THE TISSUE ORGAN BATH 2.1 TISSUE CHAMBER HANDLING PROCEDURE The following is a description of how to handle the tissue chambers and the different kinds of sample holders available. 1: Move the transducer 2: Open the chamber and mounting supports/ door.
2.2 ADJUSTING THE TRANSDUCER When tissue is placed in the sampleholder do a course adjustment on the tissue holder to fit the tissue just between the holder and the transducer without stretching it. With the tissue submerged in the buffer set the force to 0.

750 TOBS system. As part of the general maintenance of the 750 TOBS system, DMT also recommends that the bath is weight calibrated at least once every month, every time the system has been moved or has not been used over a long period.
The 750TOBS is a very delicate and sophisticated piece of research equipment. In order to keep it working at its best, DMT recommend that the following sections are read carefully and that the instructions are followed at all times. DMT strongly recommends that the Tissue Organ Bath and surroundings should be cleaned after each experiment.

7. Carefully dismount the tissue bath chamber and perform a normal glass wash. 8. If aggressive solution or drugs have been used it is possible to disconnect the temperature probe (see figure 3.1 below) and take out the chamber disc. Clean both with double distilled water, and dry with a paper towel.
