Some terms in “Mitochondrial physiology” Bioenergetics Communications 2020.1 (States and rates) did not look familiar ― what is the elementary unit [x]?

Fundamental answers, a critical discussion on the SI unit for count, and the meaning of Euclid’s unit and Euclid’s number are presented in an unusual ‘canonical review’:

Gnaiger Erich (2020) Canonical reviewer's comments on: Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (2019) The International System of Units (SI) 9th ed. MitoFit Preprint Arch 2020.4 doi:10.26124/mitofit:200004. - »Bioblast link«

Have you observed an 'O₂ slope neg.' > 4 pmol∙s⁻¹∙mL⁻¹ in the closed chamber without a biological sample?

This may be due to biological contamination of the medium or the O2k-Chamber.
For further details on how to clean the O2k-Chamber properly, see:
- » Cleaning of the O2k-Chamber«
