Noisy oxygen signal? Check the OroboPOS and OroboPOS-Connector to clean the electrical connections. Contaminating grease, salt crystals and moisture can be removed with a dry paper cloth, followed by using a paper cloth moistened with water and then absolute ethanol. - »Cleaning the electrical connections«  - communicated by »Schmitt Sabine« and »Komlodi Timea«

Dr. Eduard Stefan and Dr. Omar Torres-Quesada have received the O2k instruments for continuing with the FFG-funded MitoKIN project. The project aims to connect specific/broad kinase activities to precise metabolic functions (mitochondria) relevant for cell proliferation or survival. Oroboros Instruments is happy to be a consortium partner, providing infrastructure and expertise. - Read more »MitoKIN«

Bioblast alert 2020(13) 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« Join the discussion on the MitoEAGLE Consortium Communication: “Mitochondrial physiology” Bioenergetics Communications 2020.1 » On a Comment in Nature Metabolism «

• Dec-07 Mo

Can data be compared if different gain settings were used? Yes, oxygen signals obtained after proper calibration are independent of the gain setting, and can therefore be grouped together for comparison and analysis. - »Gain«  - communicated by »Cecatto Cristiane« and »Schmitt Sabine«
