ioblast supporting informationOn-site Training. In most cases, the Oroboros Manual provides sufficient detail for setting up the Oroboros and starting measurements, particularly in conjunction with participation in a Remote installation and startup support session (included in all Oroboros Packages). Upon special request and subject to an additional fee, however, a start-up visit by a scientific application specialist supports a highly efficient start to a project.

Training content
An Oroboros Expert will provide hands-on sessions to the participants, who will be using the Oroboros available at their research laboratory/institution. These sessions will range from instrumental setup and service of the polarographic oxygen sensor (POS) for instrumental quality control system, which is an essential component of HRR, to TIP2k, and respirometry experiments with customized specific substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor (SUIT) protocols. The customer will prepare the biological sample used during the training according to his preference. The Oroboros Expert will present the Oroboros SUITbrowser, designed to find the best SUIT protocol for your specific research questions. Many optimized SUIT protocols are available as DL-Protocols and will be shown during the training. Finally, if using a Package with Oroboros Modules included, its MultiSensor applications, particularly fluorescence measurements, will be introduced.
The Blue Book (5th edition) and Mitochondrial physiology paper provide a basic introduction to mitochondrial physiology, complementing the training course, and therefore, it is recommended to read them beforehand.
