1. A method of oxygenating a perfusate solution to be perfused through an organ or tissue, the method comprising:
removing a lid of a basin of an organ perfusion circuit;
replacing the lid of the basin with an oxygenator device by placing the oxygenator device on the basin so that tubing of the oxygenator device and a plurality of holes in the tubing are submerged within a bath of the perfusate solution within the basin, the tubing also being connected to an inlet of the oxygenator device;
connecting the inlet of the oxygenator device to an oxygen supply; and
administering oxygen from the oxygen supply, through the inlet, through the holes in the tubing, and into the perfusate bath so as to increase oxygen concentration of the perfusate solution constituting the bath.
