Open innovation

MiPNet Reference Laboratories

OROBOROS INSTRUMENTS integrates the concept of open innovation in terms of (i) our Open access approach to the O2k-Manuals, O2k-Protocols, O2k-Publications and open dissemination of methodological and scientific concepts in our O2k-Workshops and on the Bioblast wiki, and (ii) the open exchange of ideas and expertise through the WorldWide Mitochondrial Physiology Network of OROBOROS Reference Laboratories. For us, open innovation is an expression of Gentle Science.


OROBOROS

Our open innovation management is minimally bureaucratic, is not complete nor comprehensive, but attempts at acknowledging explicitly the outstanding and most valuable contributions and encouriging all OROBOROS O2k-users to participate and benefit from this concept on cooperation and feedback in science. Ideas that you communicate with us will be posted on this page. We will add comments and evaluations which may origin from the entire network, and will provide the links to results that emanate from the steps taken with the support by open innovation.

NZ Auckland Hickey AJ - Tony Hickey was the first to implement optical sensors for O2k-Fluorometry through the window of the O2k-Chamber rather than through an additional port drilled through the stopper (Hickey 2012 J Comp Physiol B). This avoids complications of oxygen leakage and trapping gas bubbles in the chamber and minimizes optical disturbances originating from the rotating stirrer. This concept is now implemented in the O2k-Fluo LED2-Module. After going into series production, OROBOROS INSTRUMENTS sent a free O2k-Fluo LED2-Module to the lab of Tony Hickey.
