A modified system for dual in vitro perfusion of the human placenta is developed and tested by measuring antipyrine clearance.  For this a perfusion chamber consisting of 4 parts is manufactured and placed in the system. Placentas obtained following vaginal deliveries are used.  Isolated cotyledones instead of whole placentas are perfused.  Flow rates and perfusion pressures are recorded and antipyrine clearances are calculated.  Obtained values are compared with those in the literature.
