O2k

  • The world's most Powerful, Popular and Prestigeous respirometer for cellular and mitochondrial research.a
  • High efficiency - low running costs.b
  • O2k-MultiSensor: Combining HRR with fluorometry (ROS production, mt-membrane potential, ATP-production, Ca2+), potentiometric measurement of pH, TPP+ and Ca2+, amperometric measurement of NO.c
  • World-wide standard for diagnosis of mitochondrial function in health and disease.
  • Flexibility for respiration of isolated mitochondria, homogenates, cultured cells and small tissue biopsies.d
  • OXPHOS analysis with substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titration (SUIT) protocols to study multiple respiratory states in a single experimental incubation: no other platform is suited for application of SUIT protocols.
  • Flexibility within experiments, on-line display of concentration and flux, automatic software controlled titrations.e
