The OROBOROS-O2k is principally designed to measure respiration in non-adherent, suspended samples, i.e. suspensions of cells or mitochondria, tissue homogenates or permeabilized fibers. However, successful efforts have been made to apply the OROBOROS-O2k for measurements on adherent cells. Specifically, the lab of Gregory Brewer developed techniques for high-resolution respirometry with the OROBOROS-O2k of neuronal cells attached to a substrate:
