Apparatus for perfusion of multiple types of organs include base unit configured to removably couple with a perfusion module for perfusing an organ. The base unit has conduits for connecting a source of a perfusate to the organ to circulate the perfusate through the organ; first and second pumps coupled to the conduits for driving circulation of the perfusate in the conduits; and a controller configured and connected for controlling the first and second pumps to regulate the circulation of the perfusate through the organ. The controller is operable to control the first and second pumps to perfuse the organ in accordance with organ specific perfusion parameters. The organ specific perfusions parameters are selected based on the type of the organ, and may be selected by an operator for at least two organ types selected from the group of heart, liver, kidney and lung.
