=== O2k-Workshop: HRR and O2k-Fluorometry ===
Β 
The O2k-Workshop on HRR and Fluorometry provides a detailed introduction to the OROBOROS Oxygraph-2k ([http://www.oroboros.at/index.php?id=oxygraph-2k| O2k-Core]), overview presentations on high-resolution respirometry ([http://www.oroboros.at/index.php?id=oxygraph| HRR]), and applications in mitochondrial physiology. An introduction to O2k-Fluorometry is integrated into the programme.
Β 
The O2k-Workshop programme is complemented by lectures on mitochondrial physiologoy (general topics; [http://www.oroboros.at/index.php?id=mipnet-protocols| substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titration SUIT protocols]). Short presentations of 'Hot topics in Mitochondrial Physiology' provide participants with the opportunity to present and discuss their work, including projects in progress, methodological details and conceptual aspects

[[File:IOC75 19.JPG|180px|right]]
The O2k-Fluorometry Workshop is integrated into the general O2k-Workshop, introducing fluorometry combined with high-resolution respirometry (HRR). Following a short introduction to HRR, the O2k-Fluorescence LED2-Module is presented in overview lectures and hands-on sessions. Discussions cover protocols for the measurement of hydrogen peroxide production [[Amplex red| (Amplex red)]], mt-membrane potential [[Safranin|(Safranin)]], ATP production [[Magnesium green| (Mg green)]], and Ca2+ [[Calcium green| (Ca green)]].
Β 
Following our successful IOC tradition, participants are invited to submit abstracts for short presentations of 'Hot topics in Mitochondrial Physiology'.
Β 
Information on O2k-Fluorometry, with resolution of hydrogenperoxide in the nanomolar range: [[O2k-Fluo LED2-Module| O2k-Fluorescence LED2-Module]].
Β 
Moreover, O2k-Workshops with a special focus on O2k-Fluorometry are offered (e.g. [[IOC95| IOC95)]]. Further O2k-MultiSensor applications are covered in these specific O2k-Workshops
Β 
* Measurement of [[Calcium electrode|Ca2+]], calibration and calculation of free Ca2+ in buffered solutions (O2k-TPP+ and Ca2+ ISE-Module)
* [[O2k-pH ISE-Module|Acidification rate (pH)]]
* [http://www.oroboros.at/index.php?id=no-oxygen| Nitric Oxide (NO)] Β

=== O2k-Workshop: TPP/ ISE ===
[[Image:O2k-TPP-ISE.jpg|180px|right]]
The O2k-Workshop TPP/ISE is customized for participants interested in O2k-MultiSensor applications, particularly ion selective electrodes (ISE) for measurement of [http://www.oroboros.at/index.php?membrane-potential| mitochondrial membrane potential] (TPP+, TPMP+) and Ca2+. It covers an introduction to basic concepts on mitochondrial membrane potential: proton pumps, ion gradients, electrochemical potential (proton motive force) and the measurement of mt-membrane potential in biological samples (homogenate, permeabilized fibres). Furthermore, data analysis (from TPP+ to mt-membrane potential) constitutes a major topic.
Β 
According to the interest of participants, other O2k-MultiSensor applications can be discussed and demonstrated:
Β 
* [[Calcium electrode| Measurement of Ca2+]], calibration and calculation of free Ca2+ in buffered solutions (O2k-TPP+ and Ca2+ ISE-Module)
* [[O2k-pH ISE-Module|Acidification rate (pH)]]
