:::: '''[[Oroboros O2k]]''' represents the unique concept of the O2k-system for [[high-resolution respirometry]] and fluorometry (HRFR). Our flagship is the '''[[O2k-FluoRespirometer]]''' 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 [[O2k-Network |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.

:::: The Oroboros O2k is based on a radically different systems approach to polarographic measurement of oxygen dynamics. HRFR 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]]) and fluorometric signals. The mechanics, critical selection of materials, and state-of-the-art electronics provide the basis of signal stability of an optimized [[polarographic oxygen sensor]] and pre-calibrated fluorescence sensors ('''''new'''' in O2k-Series H) 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 Oroboros O2k approach.
