Abstract: Summary: The OROBOROS Oxygraph-2k with DatLab software is world-wide the only instrument on the market, which allows routine measurements to be made with specifications summarized under the term βhigh-resolution respirometryβ: The limit of detection of O2 flux is as low as 0.5 pmol.s-1.cm-3. Signal noise at zero oxygen concentration is <0.05 ΞΌM O2. Oxygen backdiffusion at zero oxygen is <3 pmol.s-1.cm-3, and oxygen consumption at air saturation and standard barometric pressure (100 kPa) was 2.7 +/- 0.9 SD in 114 test runs at 37 Β°C. These highly standardized instrumental background fluxes are a linear function of oxygen concentration, which is used for routine background correction of oxygen flux. Typical exponential time constants of the oxygen sensors are <4 s, used for dynamic corrections in kinetic studies. Results of an extensive experimental test program are presented as the basis of OROBOROS Oxygraph specifications, which distinguish high-resolution respirometry from any conventional oxygraph system.

O2k high-resolution respirometry
- The OROBOROS O2k with DatLab software is world-wide the only instrument (sole source) which allows routine measurements to be made with specifications summarized under the term high-resolution respirometry (HRR).
- Continuous control of the OROBOROS O2k specifications are a fundamental component of Quality Assurance and distinguish high-resolution respirometry from any conventional oxygraph system and from less quantitative approaches.
