Bath Perfusion / Water Jacket Feature
The Heated Perfusion Pencil includes an extra tube for heating a
flowing bath solution. This heated high-flow line will maintain the bath
temperature while quickly washing-out drugs applied through the tip.
The Pencil can maintain at least 37˚C with flow rates of 5cc/min.
This extra line can also be used with a water jacket on certain perfusion
chambers. A “water jacket” is usually a separate chamber or bath outside
a perfusion chamber for circulating a heating or cooling liquid. The
perfusion chamber must be equipped with a water jacket. It is not usually
something that can be added later. Simply provide a high flow of water
from a large reservoir through the Pencil, into the chamber’s water jacket,
and out to a drain or recirculating pump for ideal heating.
