- to explore the Power of Life


Oxygraph-2k-Concept.jpg

Thank you for your interest in the OROBOROS O2k – the modular two-chamber system for High-Resolution Respirometry (HRR).


The O2k-Core is the O2k complete for basic high-resolution respirometry - ready for application. It supports all optional add-on O2k-Modules.


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 objectives (TIP2k ; O2k-Fluorescence, O2k-TPP+ and Ca2+, pH, NO). Auxiliary HRR-Tools complete the package for High-Resolution Respirometry and mitochondrial physiology.

OROBOROS INSTRUMENTS can deliver the O2k and accessories within 8 weeks to any country in the world, from Austria direct, such that you can benefit from our 10% academic discount. As a result, O2k-Network has emerged as an international network of laboratories for the exchange of scientific experience, user innovation and methodological developments.

A PC is required (not included) for connecting the O2k to DatLab.


We are looking forward to hearing from you, and will be glad to prepare a specific quotation (in Euro, or in another currency upon request) based on your feedback on your preferred configuration: [email protected].

Customer support from our office and research laboratory in Innsbruck is complemented by local scientific support through the O2k-Network. With your cooperation, the multicultural network will become stronger. Within the MiPNet, the expertise of lead users and customer innovation contribute to the unique standard of high-resolution respirometry.

O2k: 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; >1,300 O2k-Publications.

High-quality scientific and technical support from O2k-Workshops to Bioblast-OroboPedia.


Low running costs

Annual costs for O2k-spares are less than € 1,000 based on long-term experience with the O2k (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 € 700 to € 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 € 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.


Spares

Running out of membranes, quick replacement of a lost stirrer, ...?


All spare parts for the OROBOROS O2k are on stock, for immediate delivery. Shipment of spares such as sensor membranes, PVDF stirrers, Viton O-rings, etc. is possible within two weeks of receiving your purchase order.
