OROBOROS O2k
- OROBOROS O2k represents the unique concept of the O2k-system for high-resolution respirometry (HRR) and fluorometry. The OROBOROS flagship is the O2k-Fluorometer for mitochondria and cell research. Considering mitochondria as the powerhouses of the cell, the O2k introduced the concept of cell ergometry. Explore the power of life with the O2k. Are your cells MitoFit?
- the O2k is applied world-wide in areas ranging from fundamental bioenergetics to the analysis of mitochondrial and metabolic diseases, advancing the rapidly growing field of preventive mitochondrial medicine. Mitochondrial fitness needs to be monitored in a variety of age-related health risks, including cardiovascular and degenerative diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s), and several types of cancer.
OROBOROS MitoFit Laboratory
- The OROBOROS O2k is based on a radically different systems approach to polarographic measurement of oxygen dynamics. HRR rests on several tightly connected instrumental features and concepts integrated by the DatLab software, providing real-time display of oxygen concentration and respiration (oxygen flux). The mechanics, critical selection of materials, and state-of-the-art electronics provide the basis of signal stability of an optimized polarographic oxygen sensor, in an electronically controlled thermal environment with high temperature stability. Calibrations and instrumental controls follow standard operating procedures, with highly automatic real-time analysis by the DatLab software. Scientific support is complementary to the approach of HRR.
