Products
Active heart preservation system (prototype)
A preservation system that actively perfuses cardioplegia to donor hearts using a computer-controlled peristaltic pump within a thermoelectrically cooled, insulated container; designed to extend viable preservation time versus static cold storage.
Electronic research record for preclinical GLP studies
An electronic research record system tailored for preclinical GLP laboratories to capture, secure and compare experimental data, facilitate QA audits and support regulatory documentation.
Organ transplant matching analysis freeware
A freeware tool that allows transplantation centers and researchers to analyze transplants and support donor-to-recipient matching to improve allocation decisions.
