O2k-Open Support
Description
O2k-Virtual support includes 8 individual hours. Via a live video link, Oroboros experts guide you step-by-step on topics of your choice, such as O2k instrumental setup and service of the polarographic oxygen sensors (POS) for instrumental quality control, an essential component of HRR. This offers the opportunity to analyze and discuss your experimental DatLab files obtained with your O2k with the bioenergetics experts of Oroboros. It offers flexibility to participants and gives the option to choose virtual sessions that best fit individual needs.
O2k-Virtual support hour allocation
- Individual hours can be used for any topics needed, such as to prepare experiments, answer any other related questions, etc. The timetable in the program shows an approximate estimation of how much time will be needed for each specific session. This overview is intended to help participants plan their available 8 hours efficiently.
- The duration is estimated for participants who still do not have experience with the O2k, sessions might take less time for experienced O2k users.
- More than one topic can be covered in a single session and the minimum time per session is 1 hour.
- Sessions with "Do-it-yourself" hours do not count toward the 8 hours with the tutor.
- The O2k-Virtual support sessions will take place on the dates confirmed by the participants and tutor.
Materials for self-study
- It is highly recommended that participants prepare for their sessions by going through the self-study material.

Program
- Participants can use the below sample program as a guideline for possible sessions.
- For beginners we recommend starting with the Installation and startup support session session (Part 1 in the program). Experienced users may choose to select sessions from both the O2k-Basic and Advanced programs.
