An Integrated Systems Approach: High-resolution fluorespirometry

O2k-Core basic.jpg
The Oroboros O2k is the unique state-of-the-art instrument for HRFR - where high-resolution counts:
  • with small amounts of cells or tissue,
  • at low respiratory activities,
  • multiple substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titrations (SUIT protocols) with resolution of changes in oxygen flux over prolonged incubation times,
  • flexibility of O2k-MultiSensor applications,
  • fast transitions at low oxygen levels,
  • stability and quality control.
High-resolution respirometry is the result of our long-term expertise in instrumental design, software development, mitochondrial physiology, clinical and pharmacological applications, and world-wide scientific cooperation. The innovative O2k-developments provide a system of highest quality and distinguish high-resolution respirometry as a method and concept.
Today, such high resolution meets rapidly increasing demands, reflected by the increasing number and high level of O2k-Publications. Applications of the O2k in leading O2k-Network Labs are the driving forces for a rapid advancement of mitochondrial physiology. Open access to the O2k-Manual is an integral part of the concept of OROBOROS INSTRUMENTS on Gentle Science and Scientific Social Responsibility. With sharing of O2k-Protocols and implementation of quality control, the study of mitochondrial and cell respiration emerges as a quantitative science. Thus high-resolution fluorespirometry provides the foundation for comparative mitochondrial physiology, biomedical research, translation into clinical applications, establishing quantitative functional mitochondrial diagnosis.
The Oroboros O2k sets a world-wide standard in high-resolution respirometry - for mitochondrial studies in cell physiology and pathology. Developments progress beyond oxygen.
In contrast to merely offering an oxygen measuring device, the Oroboros O2k is integrated into a systems approach to high-resolution respirometry. This spans from experimental tools which are invaluable in the lab (e.g. ISS), or little aids that are crucial for tissue preparation (forceps), mitochondrial respration medium (MiR05-Kit), substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titration protocols, and the unique O2k-Workshops.
