Description
The NextGen-O2k (NextGeneration O2k by Oroboros Instruments) is in development, building upon and extending the concept of the O2k-Fluorometer elaborated within the K-Regio Project MitoCom O2k-Fluorometer (2011-2014). To broaden the specifications of the O2k-FluoRespirometer, the NextGen-O2k will combine high-resolution respirometry with a Q-Module for measurements of Q-redox state and a PB-module to study PhotoBiology (including photosynthesis). It is our ultimate goal to further extend the NextGen-O2k with O2k-Spectrofluorometry (including ratiometric measurements), NADH autofluorescence, and O2k-Spectrophotometry (allowing for simultaneous measurement of redox states of the cytochromes aa3, b, and c). The Oroboros NextGen-O2k will have integrated optical elements beyond the modular options of the presently available Oroboros O2k.
