The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the pressure sensor is configured to maintain the pressure of the effluent medical fluid at a desired pressure. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the desired pressure is atmospheric pressure. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the pressure control valve allows pressure inside the portable housing to be maintained at a desired pressure. 10. An apparatus for holding an organ or tissue for at least one of perfusion, storage, diagnosis and transport of the organ, comprising: a portable housing, the portable housing including more than one lid that forms a substantially airtight seal with the portable housing; and an organ or tissue supporting surface configured to support the organ or tissue within the portable housing while allowing effluent medical fluid to pass through the organ or tissue, wherein the portable housing is configured to be received by at least one of a perfusion device, a transporter and a diagnostic device, wherein the portable housing includes one or more openings configured to allow tubing to pass through the openings and be connected to the organ or tissue, wherein the portable housing includes a closable vent that allows pressure inside the portable housing to be varied, and a pressure control valve that allows the pressure inside the portable housing to be varied, and is configured to restrict the rate at which external pressure changes are transmitted to the inside of the portable housing and to maintain the pressure inside the portable housing at a desired pressure, and wherein at least one of the lids includes the pressure control valve. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the closable vent includes a filter device. 12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the closable vent is arranged in each of the lids. 13. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the desired pressure is atmospheric pressure. 14. An apparatus for holding an organ or tissue for at least one of perfusion, storage, diagnosis and transport of the organ, comprising: a portable housing, the portable housing including two lids that each form a substantially airtight seal with the portable housing; and an organ or tissue supporting surface configured to support the organ or tissue within the portable housing while allowing effluent medical fluid to pass through the organ or tissue, wherein the portable housing is configured to be received by at least one of a perfusion device, a transporter and a diagnostic device, wherein the portable housing includes one or more openings configured to allow tubing to pass through the openings and be connected to the organ or tissue, wherein the portable housing includes at least two devices, each of the at least two devices allows pressure inside the portable housing to be varied and maintained at a desired pressure, wherein at least one of the lids includes at least one of the two devices, and wherein one of the devices is a pressure control valve, and another device is a membrane. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the at least two devices are located in one of the lids. 16. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the desired pressure is atmospheric pressure. 17.
