- Oroboros Quality Control
- Many commonly raised issues of Oroboros Open Support are solved in the newest version of DatLab.
- The O2 sensor and Oroboros chamber tests are important to eliminate instrumental artefacts (instrumental quality control, QC), distinguished from assay QC addressing problems of solution protocols (preparation of chemicals), sample preparation protocols (such as mitochondrial preparations), and SUIT protocols.
- Clean Oroboros chambers and contamination-free incubation medium are required.
- Analysis of DatLab files recorded in instrumental QC tests is essential.
- Biological experiments are not suitable for trouble shooting.

1. O2 sensor test
- The OroboPOS (polarographic oxygen sensor) requires regular service at intervals - these may be more than 1 year. SOPs are available to determine if a sensor service is required at an earlier or later date:
- » O2 sensor test: QC1: Oxygen sensor test
2. Oroboros chamber test
- If all quality control criteria of the O2 sensor test are met, the operator can be assured that the quality of the sensor signal is acceptable. Next, the quality of the Oroboros chamber assembly has to be tested, described in detail:
- » Oroboros chamber test: QC2: Instrumental O2 background test
