What Researchers Did
Researchers developed a specialized hyperbaric chamber system designed to study the effects of pure hydrostatic pressure on tissues and cells.
What They Found
They described a small chamber with an internal volume of 7.6 liters, rated for working pressures up to 400 ATA. The system includes a cam-driven pump for constant flow of physiological solutions and maintains temperature within 0.05 degrees C of the set point. This versatile system has been used for electrical and mechanical studies of cardiac muscle.
