For discussion
Here we discuss suggestions for the Oroboros Science calendar
- Do you perform a stirrer test during oxygen calibration?
- In DatLab 7.4, instrumental DL-Protocols guide you automatically towards performing the stirrer test in the process of air calibration. It shows immediately, if your OroboPOS has a satisfactory response time. Further details in MitoPedia: »Oxygen calibration - DatLab
- Is the noise of the ‘O2 slope neg’ acceptable?
- If you are not certain that the noise of the ‘O2 slope neg’ is within a suitable range or you want to confirm that your experimental data will not be affected, see further details: MiPNet06.03 POS-calibration-SOP

2020 Week 2
- Jan-07 Tu The Oroboros Office opens in the New Year 2020
- From the Austrian Bioenergetics Group to Mitochondrial Physiology and Bioenergetics DACH (D: Germany; A: Austria; CH: Switzerland)
- EBEC22 - the 22nd European Bioenergetics Conference will be held in Innsbruck (2022, Aug 22-27). We would like to invite several Austrian colleagues to join the EBEC22 National Scientific Committee. This provides an excellent opportunity to establish an Austrian Bioenergetics Group towards and beyond EBEC22. We hope that this topic will be discussed at the forthcoming 1st Myocardial Function Symposium 2020 Graz AT, and further at the MitoEAGLE Summit Obergurgl 2020. Please, contact the organizer of EBEC22 - [email protected]
- Force and Energy: this we all need in the New Year - and MitoPedia may help to clarify the difference.
-
- Members of the Management Committee MitoEAGLE and Working Group Leaders: please submit your suggestions for MitoEAGLE Summit Obergurgl 2020:
- Suggested type and title of your personal presentation, according to the MoU and final MitoEAGLE output
- Suggested scientists (titles) for presentations, according to the MoU
- » 1st Myocardial Function Symposium 2020 Graz AT

- Do you write the serial number of the polarographic oxygen sensor (POS) in the ‘O2k configuration’ window?
- Including the POS serial number in the ´O2k configuration´ window is important to keep a track record of the sensors used according to the O2k. This will be especially helpful if troubleshooting is needed. Further details: O2k configuration
- Do you perform O2k-Chamber volume calibration?
- The volume calibration is essential to ensure that the chamber volume is correctly calibrated to its standard volume of 2 mL, or the chosen volume. Further details: MiPNet22.11 O2k-FluoRespirometer manual
- Do you use the correct O2 solubility factor (FM) in the ‘O2 calibration’ window in DatLab?
- The O2 solubility factor varies according to medium used and influence the air calibration. Further details: Oxygen solubility
