The implemented algorithm specifically for the automated verification of a simulated heart\u2019s discoloration process was optimized in this study. Initially, we used a latex balloon containing enough dye to reach the opacity of a heart. The complete discoloration process corresponds to complete decellularization. The developed software automatically detects the complete discoloration of a simulated heart. Finally, the process stops automatically. Another goal was to optimize the Langendorff-type experimental apparatus, which is pressure-controlled and equipped with a vibrating fluid column that shortens the decellularization time by mechanically acting directly on cell membranes. Control experiments were performed with the designed experimental device and the vibrating liquid column using different decellularization protocols for hearts taken from rats. In this work, we used a commonly utilized solution based on sodium dodecyl sulfate. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was used to measure the evolution of the dye concentration in the simulated hearts and, similarly, to determine the concentrations of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and proteins in the rat hearts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23084045","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,17]],"date-time":"2023-04-17T09:51:41Z","timestamp":1681725101000},"page":"4045","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Automation and Optimization of Rat Heart Decellularization Using a Vibrating Fluid Column"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Dumitru-Daniel","family":"Bonciog","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Measurements and Optical Electronics Department, Politehnica University Timisoara, 300006 Timisoara, Romania"}]},{"given":"Mihaela-Ruxandra","family":"Lascu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Measurements and Optical Electronics Department, Politehnica University Timisoara, 300006 Timisoara, Romania"}]},{"given":"Liliana","family":"M\u00e2\u021biu-Iovan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Measurements and Optical Electronics Department, Politehnica University Timisoara, 300006 Timisoara, Romania"}]},{"given":"Valentin Lauren\u021biu","family":"Ordodi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemistry and Engineering of Organic and Natural Compounds Department, University Politehnica Timisoara, 300006 Timisoara, Romania"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1582-4934.2006.tb00287.x","article-title":"Tissue Engineering of Bone: The Reconstructive Surgeon\u2019s Point of View","volume":"10","author":"Kneser","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
