About Oroboros Instruments


Logo OROBOROS INSTRUMENTS.jpg

Founded in 1994 and based in Innsbruck, Austria, add?Oroboros Instruments is the driving force in mitochondrial physiology and, with more than 25 years of experience, the expert in mitochondrial and cell research. Labs, hospitals, research centers, pharmaceutical and biotech companies in 49 countries are benefiting from our gold standard Oroboros O2k technology for high-resolution respirometry (HRR) and from the robustness, reliability and high quality of our products. The O2k-Network includes and connects over 600 reference laboratories worldwide. Further benefitting our customers, we organize international O2k-Workshops on a regular basis, allowing for hands-on practical training provided by our experts.


Our diverse team has the skills, knowledge, and creativity to bring innovation and excellence to the relevant markets. By actively participating in research (see: publications) along with hosting international researchers (visiting scientists) in the fully equipped Oroboros MitoFit Laboratory, our science specialists fully understand what is required to conduct excellent research. They develop tested and trusted O2k instruments and protocols that enable researchers and clinicians to study mitochondrial function in cancer, diabetes, aging, neurodegeneration, exercise physiology and mitochondrial medicine.


About Our Products

O2k-FluoRespirometer
Template NextGen-O2k.jpg

Oroboros O2k represents the unique concept of the modular O2k-system for high-resolution respirometry (HRR). The O2k is applied worldwide in areas ranging from fundamental bioenergetics to the analysis of mitochondrial and metabolic diseases, advancing the rapidly growing field of preventive mitochondrial medicine. Mitochondrial fitness requires monitoring in a variety of age-related health risks, such as cancer, cardiovascular, degenerative, and neurodegenerative diseases. Our flagship package is the O2k-FluoRespirometer for mitochondria and cell research. Small amounts of biological samples can be used for bioenergetic and OXPHOS analysis, ranging from isolated mitochondria, permeabilized tissues and permeabilized cells to intact cells and tissues slices.The modular O2k-concept is supported by specially developed O2k-Software, DatLab 7, with high flexibility for extension by add-on O2k-Modules or economical first steps with the Startup O2k-Respirometer. The high-resolution O2k technology emphasizes quality and scientific output of research in mitochondrial physiology and pathology.


  • The O2k-FluoRespirometer can be used for simultaneous monitoring of oxygen consumption and either ROS production (AmR), mitochondrial (mt-) membrane potential (TMRM, Safranin and Rhodamine), Ca2+ (CaG) or ATP production (MgG).
  • Add-on MultiSensor modules enable measurement of mt-membrane potential with ion sensitive electrodes (for TPP+ or TPMP+), Ca2+ or pH.
  • O2k software DatLab for data acquisition and analysis provides protocols for quality control and substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titration (SUIT) protocols, guiding the user step-by-step through the desired experiment.
  • Further extended by novel Q-redox and PhotoBiology modules, the NextGen-O2k is being developed as the all-in-one device for real-time monitoring of mitochondrial/chloroplast function. Its innovations, built upon the Oroboros O2k technology, ensure reproducible and accurate results.


Mission & Vision

  • Our Mission

Our mission is to address the acute reproducibility crisis of scientific investigation through precise quality control. In the spirit of Open Science and global networking, we will enable data sharing across projects and institutions in an Open Access database on mitochondrial physiology and pathology in order to resolve the inflation crisis and ultimately the value-impact crisis of present academic publication. Giving expert user support to our worldwide scientific network and collaborations we aim to provide open-access resources in order to train our future inventors and start-ups. With our focus on corporate social responsibility, we will support key developments in mitochondrial medicine and contribute valuable benefits for our health system. We pressure the importance of mitochondrial fitness.

We do science in the spirit of Gentle Science recognizing the responsibility of the scientific community - for the quality of science, the quality of life in science, and its mission.

Do we need to make a more direct mention of our products? A potential customer reading this might think we are not as serious about what we sell as we are about our open-access database and network'

Corporate Social Responsibility

At Oroboros Instruments we are committed to not only our work, but also the way we do it. Our culture includes respect and support for our community as well as concern for the environment. Over 25 years of experience in innovation, development and optimization have led to the best quality scientific instruments with minimum running costs. To reduce our environmental impact, we design and produce our devices to be energy efficient and long-lasting. The durability and robustness of our instruments mean less waste. Further waste-reduction practices, such as providing an electronic version of our manuals, are part of our approach to conservation. Our team is dedicated to this ethic and we encourage all our employees to contribute. Like our instruments we strive to continually develop our employees by challenging them and fostering the exchange of knowledge. Our diverse, multicultural and open team shares this philosophy and leads us to our growth. Every employee’s opinion matters, and their breadth of experience helps us continually improve our company and our products.
