Thank you for your interest in the OROBOROS Oxygraph-2k โ€“ the modular two-chamber system for high-resolution respirometry (HRR). The O2k-Core is the Oxygraph-2k complete for basic high-resolution respirometry - ready for application. It supports all optional add-on O2k-Modules and is incorporated in our different packages, such as the O2k-Fluorometer.

The O2k modular concept is user-friendly, offering experimental packages with flexible add-on extensions. O2k-Modules can be combined in any configuration with the O2k-Core, and can be added any time to extend the O2k-MultiSensor System according to application-specific requirements (TIP2k, O2k-Fluo LED2, O2k-TPP+, pH, NO). Auxiliary HRR-Tools complete the package for high-resolution respirometry and mitochondrial physiology.

For more information about our products, please take a look at our product catalogue.

High-output, low running costs

High-output

  • OROBOROS stands for instrumental reliability, quantitative and reproducible results.
  • Modular system for cost-effective instrumental strategies from O2k-Core to Power-O2k.
  • Validated O2k-Protocols and flexibility for a wide range of applications; >1,700 O2k-Publications.
  • High-quality scientific and technical service from O2k-Workshops to Bioblast-OroboPedia.

Low running costs

  • Annual costs for O2k-spares are less than โ‚ฌ 1,000 based on long-term experience with the Oxygraph-2k (e.g. spare glass chamber, stoppers).
  • The POS sensor has a warranty of 24 months and a life span of more than 10 years (see our Bioblast wiki on the appropriate handling of the POS sensor: POS Sensor Service
  • In O2k-MultiSensor applications, spare sensors (e.g. glass pH electrode) may increase the costs by โ‚ฌ 700 to โ‚ฌ 1,400 per year.
  • A POS membrane replacement is not required over periods of several months and other small parts such as sealing rings or gaskets do not need to be replaced for one year or more. The costs are therefore less than โ‚ฌ 20 per year.

Chemicals required (not supplied by OROBOROS INSTRUMENTS)

  • Media: Calculate 3 ml per run per chamber, e.g. MiR05 or MiR06.
  • Chemicals: Substrates, uncouplers, inhibitors, specific effectors.
  • Washing with deionized or distilled water, with pure ethanol (removing inhibitors) and 70% Ethanol (sterilization, storage).
  • O2k-MultiSensor applications: Calibration solutions, fluorophores.
