Ex vivo organ perfusion (EVOP) is used for whole organ preservation, and the main focus is to improve the outcome of donor organs for transplantation. Recently, EVOP has found application in disease modeling, drug development, and tissue regeneration. We discuss progress in EVOP research involving small animal organs using benchtop and incubator-based EVOP systems, highlighting innovative designs of EVOP systems, technical specifications of each system, and their versatile applications across a range of research fields.
