Materials Needed

~~Food coloring~~ {Purchased 6/29/2011}
- can be used to test our tubing set-up
- maybe one color to represent each SDS, saline, and recellularizing media (and blood)
More panel mount connectors
- we never ordered enough for bags
- we would need more of the ones with the threading for now because multiple bags can be used in one tubing
Sensors (see Sensors)
- ~~pH sensors (include temperature reading)~~ {At meeting on June 22 we decided that we will not actually require pH sensors}
  - ~~1 for each chamber's trachea 'output' to test when clean of SDS~~
  - ~~1 for inside each chamber to confirm sterility~~
  - ~~1 for each reservoir to confirm their sterility~~
    - ~~also will confirm that media are properly heated~~
- Temperature sensors
  - if we choose not to use pH sensor in any of above locations, but still want temp.
  - Based on June 22 meeting we will want temperature probes in each of the media reservoirs.
- Flow sensors
  - we would want to measure the incoming pulmonary media for each lung
  - and measure both 'ingoing' and 'outcoming' trachea media
    - we would need 2 separate sensors placed in opposite directions to measure the ingoing and outcoming
    - we would also need to send the gas tubes through completely different sensors
- Oxygen Concentration sensors
Pump for blood perfusion (MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW: stay updated on the Pumps page)
- requires 4-8 L/min
~~DUCT TAPE~~ {purchased July 14}
