The concept of Gentle Science has been a driving force for more than 20 years of continuous development of high-resolution respirometry, which was initiated in a FWF project (1989). Our first generation Oxygraph was commercially available in 1992. A series of applications was presented at a BTK conference in 1994, and a full description of the instrument, method and concept of high-resolution respirometry was published in 1995 [1], when the positive feedback from early users had confirmed the validity of our approach [2]. The concept of O2k-MultiSensor extensions was implemented in the second generation Oxygraph-2k, developed in close cooperation with Phlipp Gradl (WGT-Elektronik) and distributed since 2002.

The strategy of OROBOROS INSTRUMENTS included the close link between university and company, teaching and training with Open Access to our published [3] and unpublished scientific background information, detailed descriptions of O2k-Protocols on our website, and direct communication with our customers and O2k-users (Mitochondrial Physiology Network).

Conforming to the OROBOROS logo we are proud to receive highly positive O2k-Feedback, but also provide help with O2k-Troubleshooting in open discussions. Since a 2007 workshop in Schroecken and the first MiPsummer school 2007, advanced SUIT protocols for sequential activation particularly of CI-, CI+II- and CII-linked respiration are explained in the 'Blue Book'. It is not in the spirit of Gentle Science, however, to receive enthusiastic feedback by Emails and then read in a publication (2008) "protocols developed by us" without proper citation.

Gentle Science is an illusion worthwhile to maintain.
