Talk:Oroboros FAQ

1. Got confused with o2k-core and o2k-module? If I understood it right, o2k-core if purchased can be converted in future to measure other functions for example fluorescence, Ca+2, pH.

2. How about installation of the machine in the lab here in US? Is anybody going to do it for us? Or, buyer has to do it.

3. What is the advantage of titration-injection micropump? Is manual pipetting to add sample to the chamber difficult? How is it different from ISS-integrated suction system and microsyringe set in O2K-core?

4. Are fluorescence sensors used for only green and blue emission? Is sensor not suitable for red emission? How about the excitation? Does the machine use a wide excitation spectrum?

5. If only Ca+2 is detected with the suitable module? Or, other ions such Na+, phosphate, K+ can also be detected.

6. Is special organ tissue or cell preparation needed to measure ions? Or, whole tissue and adherent/suspended cells are used.

7. Where do you get NO sensor and the cost of it?

8. How are we going to avail parts and labor warranty in the US?

9. Please explain Delivery included but duty unpaid? I do not get it.

10. Different module mentioned includes o2k-chamber and oxygen sensor as spare. Do these go bad with usage? Do you recommend to have them as a backup?

11. With regard to workshop: If O2K-fluorescence is different from O2K-basic. What will be covered in the workshop in Sydney, Australia? Is registration fee included with the purchase for the workshop in Sydney?
