Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Organ Preservation Technology

Background:

  • Ice formation during organ preservation leads to cellular damage.
  • Supercooling offers a promising alternative to cryopreservation for extending organ viability.
  • Existing methods for organ preservation face limitations in maintaining long-term viability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the design and prototype of an isochoric vessel for supercooled organ preservation.
  • To demonstrate a novel approach for preventing ice formation during organ storage.
  • To encourage further research and development in organ preservation technologies.

Main Methods:

  • Design and construction of a prototype constant volume (isochoric) chamber.
  • Integration of a mechanical vapor compression refrigeration unit for a cooling bath.
  • Implementation of continuous temperature and pressure monitoring systems.
  • Utilizing supercooling technology within the isochoric chamber to avoid ice formation.

Main Results:

  • A functional prototype of an isochoric vessel for organ preservation was successfully developed.
  • The system enables organ preservation in a supercooled state, preventing ice crystal formation.
  • Initial experiments focused on pig liver preservation, demonstrating the device's capability.

Conclusions:

  • The developed isochoric vessel is a viable prototype for supercooled organ preservation.
  • The design shows potential for preserving various organ types, including multi-organ applications.
  • Further research and replication of the design are encouraged to advance organ preservation techniques.
