High-resolution respirometry is extended by O2k-MultiSensor modules allowing the simultaneous measurement of oxygen consumption and one additional parameter. Fluorometric methods are available for a wide range of analytical parameters of major interest in mitochochondrial physiology: H₂O₂ production, mitochondrial membrane potential, intracellular pH, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, and NADH levels. Advantages of the simultaneous measurement of additional parameters in a single respirometric chamber:

1. Quality control of preparations by respirometric performance.
2. Objective exclusion criteria for protocol related problems, e.g. overtitration of uncouplers, side effects of TPP⁺ or fluorophores.
3. Elimination of artifacts of normalization for a mitochondrial marker when combining two methods in a single chamber.
4. Additional information is acquired for a limited amount of sample.
5. Oxygen dependence of parameters can be studied.

In the publication by Krumschnabel et al. 2015 we introduce the O2k-Fluo LED2-Module, describe one selected stage in its development, and show its application for the simultaneous measurement of respiration and H₂O₂ production of mouse brain mitochondria. The paper by Makrecka-Kuka et al. 2015 focuses on the application of the Amplex red assay for determining H₂O₂ production in three different models of mitochondrial preparations.
