== About us ==


The OROBOROS MitoFit Laboratory (MitoFit Lab, 'Mitochondriales Forschungslabor') is a scientific research laboratory in Innsbruck, Austria, that is probably the world-wide best equipped lab for high-resolution respirometry. The MitoFit Lab was opened during the course of the K-Regio project [[MitoCom_O2k-Fluorometer| MitoCom Tyrol]], starting in June 2013. It comprises 140 sqm which are divided into the office and research areas.

OXPHOS analysis

SUIT protocols are applied in tissue samples from animal models and human patients. Using cultured cells or cells extracted from blood samples, the effects of genotypic variations or of various drugs are studied on OXPHOS parameters, using
  • coupling control protocols (CCP) in intact cells to evaluate effects on ROUTINE respiration, biochemical coupling efficiency and extracellular ROS production under physiological conditions;
  • various substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titration (SUIT) protocols in permeabilized cells for deep OXPHOS phenotyping (cell ergometry).
