Abstract: A tissue culture vessel including a graft support tray (200) and a box having a lid (400) and a base which engages and retains the tray. The tray has two operational states: a first operational state in which a floor of the tray is slightly raised with respect to a floor of the base and a second operational state in which the floor of said tray descends to contact the floor of the base.

Abstract: A device for arranging a harvested heart to be stored in an enclosure before transplantation, whereby the heart is connected to a tube for supply of a medical fluid to the heart. A cylindrical insert intended to be arranged in a enclosure for the heart, comprises a fixture for immobilizing the tube in a central position of the insert. The fixture comprises an arm extending from the periphery of the fixture to the center of the fixture; and a jaw device for gripping the tube and maintaining the tube and the organ hanging in the tube in a predetermined height position.

Abstract: An apparatus intended for evaluation, preservation and perfusion of an organ, such as a lung. The apparatus includes a container with a bottom portion, an insert portion and a lid portion. A pulmonary artery tube is intended to be connected to the lung pulmonary artery and a trachea tube is intended to be connected to the trachea of the lungs and bent tube connects the pulmonary artery tube to a circuit for providing a fluid to the pulmonary artery is provided. The circuit includes a pump, an oxygenator, an optional leukocyte-filter, and a holder for connecting the trachea tube to a source of respiration. There is an oxygenator tube set and a leukocyte-filter tube set. A supporting structure for the container comprises a recess sized for enclosing said container and a display panel. Moreover, there are two handles, which may be unfolded into a position for supporting a sterile cloth.
