Oroboros delivers the O2k-technology for high-resolution respirometry in mitochondria and cell research. The O2k allows the measurement of respiration at controlled oxygen levels, combined with redox biology (NADH and CoQ), ROS production, mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP production, Ca2+, and pH. HRR expands to HRPB: High-Resolution PhotoBiology.
O2k-Applications:
- O2 consumption
- Normoxia-Hyperoxia-Hypoxia-Anoxia
- Q-redox state
- NAD(P)H-redox state
- H2O2 production
- mt-Membrane potential
- ATP production
- Ca2+ concentration
- pH
- Photosynthesis
- Dark respiration
With the Oroboros O2k, small amounts of biological samples can be used for bioenergetic and OXPHOS analysis, ranging from isolated mitochondria, permeabilized tissues and permeabilized cells to living cells and tissues slices.
Experimental data are displayed not only as oxygen concentration over time but also as real-time transformation of these data, allowing the experimenter to follow respiration (oxygen consumption, oxygen flux) of biological and biochemical samples while the experiment is still running.
The modular O2k-concept is supported by DatLab with high flexibility for extension by add-on O2k-Modules or economical first steps with O2k-Packages.
The high-resolution O2k technology is internationally tested and trusted with emphasis on quality and scientific output of research in mitochondrial physiology and pathology.
