| Abstract: | Summary Organ cultures of hearts maintained in media sterilized by filtration through different types of commercially available disposable membrane filter units displayed different beating rates and survival patterns. Media filtered through two different filter units sold by one company were severely toxic. Prewashing the filters removed most if not all of the toxins. This work was supported by grants from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (HL14706) and the Moss Heart Fund. |
