Important information for the MitoFit Proficiency Test (PT)
Required equipment:
- Oroboros O2k, Series A-H (2004โ2018)
- DatLab 7.3 (provided)
- PC/Laptop, Windows XP+
- O2k-Titration_Set with Hamilton microsyringes
Chemicals:
- We are aware that the Quality Control of the chemicals is a key factor influencing the results of the MitoFit Proficiency test. For the present test, however, due to logistic limitations, participants are asked to perform tests using their own chemicals. For future tests, provision of critical chemicals is planned. Should the lack of some chemicals be the main reason why you do not see fit to participate in the current round, we kindly ask for your feedback and see if we can solve the issue. We will try to solve any problems.
Experiments are to be performed:
- individually (one O2k instrument per participant)
- without any further help
- Manuals and SOPs can be used, see: O2k-technical_support_and_open_innovation
Registration form and self assessment:
- Send the registration form to instruments@oroboros.at

Scientific objective
- Together with a literature review and preliminary data from the Oroboros MitoFit laboratory, we are going to publish the test results in collaboration with the Department for Medical Statistics, Informatics and Health Economics, Medical University of Innsbruck, as part of the K-Regio Project MitoFit.
- With the participation in the MitoFit Proficiency Test, you agree on the use of experimental data collected for the test, to be used for research purposes in an anonymized way.
Time requirements
- Level 1. Air calibration and Instrumental background oxygen flux: ca. 3 hours
- Level 2. SUIT-001 or SUIT-002: ca. 3 hours, including air calibration
- Level 3. Data analysis: 1 hour
- Within the timespan of one workday, your personal proficiency is comprehensively evaluated, using your own O2k and your laboratory equipment.
