Describes a simple and cheap apparatus design for conducting biological experiments at high hydrostatic pressures up to 1000 atm.
May enable affordable high-pressure biological experiments; leaves open validation for cardiovascular research.
A very simple and cheap design is described that can be used up to 1 000 atm. The stainless steel pressure chamber is provided with six insulated Pyrotenax leads and a permeability bridge for measuring mechanical changes. It has been used for recording the tension developed by a stimulated muscle but could be readily adapted to suit other experimental requirements.
