About Oroboros Instruments
The Oroboros Ecosystem
Founded in 1994 by Dr. Erich Gnaiger, Oroboros Instruments boasts over 25 years of experience in mitochondrial physiology, making us the expert in mitochondria and cell research. Labs, hospitals, research centers, pharmaceutical and biotech companies in 49 countries are benefiting from our gold standard Oroboros O2k technology for high-resolution respirometry (HRR). The O2k-Network includes and connects over 600 reference laboratories worldwide.
On our Bioblast website including MitoPedia and O2k-Open Support pages, a wealth of information and scientific knowledge is available, ranging from Concepts and Methods and O2k-Procedures to O2k-Publications. Our aim is to provide more than just the physical means to conduct mitochondrial research. By offering an open resource in addition to making ourselves available for excellent customer and technical support, we empower our customers to design, implement and interpret meaningful experiments. Further benefitting our customers, we organize international O2k-Workshops on a regular basis, allowing for hands-on practical training provided by our experts. Our open-access preprint server, MitoFit Preprint Archives, encourages and supports the sharing of knowledge in the field.

About Our Products
Oroboros_O2k represents the unique concept of the modular O2k-system for high-resolution respirometry (HRR). The O2k is applied world-wide in areas ranging from fundamental bioenergetics to the analysis of mitochondrial and metabolic diseases, advancing the rapidly growing field of preventive mitochondrial medicine.
At Oroboros Instruments, we follow the strategy of direct support and distribution with best prices offered worldwide, supported by expert national distributors. Our flagship package is the O2k-FluoRespirometer for mitochondria and cell research. Small amounts of biological samples can be used for bioenergetic and OXPHOS analysis, ranging from isolated mitochondria, permeabilized tissues and permeabilized cells to living cells and tissue slices. The modular O2k-Concept is supported by the specially developed O2k-Software, DatLab 7, with high flexibility for extension by add-on O2k-Modules or economical first steps with the Startup O2k-Respirometer. The high-resolution O2k technology emphasizes quality and scientific output of research in mitochondrial physiology and pathology.
Oroboros MitoFit Laboratory
- The Oroboros O2k is based on a radically different systems approach to the polarographic measurement of oxygen dynamics. HRR rests on several tightly connected instrumental features and concepts integrated with the DatLab software, providing real-time display of oxygen concentration and respiration (oxygen flux) and fluorometric signals. The mechanics, critical selection of materials, and state-of-the-art electronics provide the basis of the signal stability of an optimized polarographic oxygen sensor and pre-calibrated Smart Fluo-Sensors in an electronically controlled thermal environment with high temperature stability. Calibrations and instrumental controls follow standard operating procedures, with highly automatic real-time analysis by the DatLab software. Scientific support is complementary to the Oroboros O2k approach.
