<big>'''O2'''k:</big> The '''Oxy'''graph-2k measures oxygen ([[Oxygen |dioxygen, '''O<sub>2</sub>''']]) as a gas dissolved in aqueous solutions. With the Oxy'''graph'''-2k, a graph is displayed not only of oxygen concentration over time, but of '''respiration''' (oxygen consumption, oxygen flux) of the biological sample. The Oxygraph-2k is not used for measurement of oxygen concentration in a tissue, but for high-resolution analysis of respiratory activity of biological samples transferred into the experimental chamber.

Specific [[substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titration]] (SUIT) protocols are applied in studies of cell respiration or mitochondrial activity. In such experiments, quantitative information is obtained on selected [[Gnaiger 2012 MitoPathways |biochemical pathways]], particularly of the process of '''[[oxidative phosphorylation]] (OXPHOS)''' in mitochondria and bacteria. Comprehensive OXPHOS analysis leads us beyond the highly informative process of oxygen consumption, when high-resolution respirometry is combined with [[O2k-MultiSensor]] Modules to measure simultaneously the production of reactive oxygen species or mitochondrial membrane potential, nitric oxide production, acid-base balance or calcium with O2k-Fluorometry or ion selective electrodes. In the O2k, these bioenergetic parameters are always evaluated in combination with the measurement of oxygen concentration and respiration.
