Other information
Description
This Agilent Seahorse analyzer measures and reports the oxygen consumption rate (OCR), proton efflux rate (PER) or extracellular acidification rate (ECAR), as well as ATP production rates of live cells in a 96-well format. This analyzer features excellent OCR precision at low rates, verified instrument performance, optimized temperature control, and is automation enabled.
OCR, PER, and ATP production rates are critical measurements of energy metabolism and vital indicators of mitochondrial health, toxicity, glycolysis, and overall cellular (dys)function. Together, these measurements provide a systems-level view of cellular metabolic function in cultured cells and ex vivo samples.
