In order to discern beginners and advanced users for the evaluation of the proficiency test, these must be recognized as such.

One possibility is to hand out a questionnaire and to decide based on this.


Some suggested questions for a questionnaire (which will need to be complemented by observation of the participants):

  • Do you consider yourself a beginner or an advanced user of the O2k?
  • How often have you been using the O2k in the past 6 months?
- Never/1-5 times/5-10 times/Routinely
  • Are you doing experiments with one instrument only or do you handle several O2k's simultaneously?
  • Did you (ever) determine instrumental oxygen background flux of the O2k in your lab?
  • Have you ever volume-calibrated your O2k chambers?
  • How often do you service your Polarographic Oxygen Sensors (POS)?
  • How often do you zero calibrate your sensors?
  • Do you use different protocols in chambers A and B in a single run?
  • Have you been using the DatLab protocol driver before?
  • Do you understand the terms LEAK, OXPHOS, ET capacity, ROX?
  • Do you understand the terms F-, N-, S-linked respiration?
  • Do you understand the terms CI, CII, CI&II-linked respiration?
