The O2k-Fluorescence Module is a modular extension of the Oxygraph-2k (O2k-MultiSensor System), adding a new dimension to HRR.  Optical sensors are inserted through the front window of the O2k-glass chamber, for measurement of hydrogen peroxide production (Amplex red), ATP production (Mg green), mt-membrane potential (Safranin), Ca²⁺ (Ca green), and numerous other applications open for O2k-user innovation.  The O2k-Fluorescence Module consists of optical sensors for both O2k-chambers (green or blue excitation), optical filters, front fixation of the optical sensors to the glass windows of the O2k-chambers, two black PEEK stoppers (with single central titration port), electronic control of light intensity, data input into the O2k-MultiSensor system, and the new DatLab software.

    The O2k-Fluorescence LED2-Module is fully supported by the O2k-Core. O2k-Series D requires the MultiSensor electronic upgrade of the O2k-Basic.
