Mitochondria play a crucial role in health and disease, imposing a growing demand for evaluation of mitochondrial function in inherited and preventable degenerative diseases. These are associated with lack of physical exercise and obesity, causing decline of mitochondrial fitness and early aging. High-resolution respirometry (HRR) is based on the state-of-the-art instrument (Oroboros O2k, Innsbruck, Austria) for mitochondrial and cell respiration[1]. The O2k combines real-time respirometry with simultaneous measurement of H2O2 production, mt-membrane potential, ADP-ATP exchange, pH, Ca2+, or nitric oxide. HRR can be applied with a wide spectrum of sample preparations (e.g. isolated mitochondria, tissue homogenate, permeabilized fibers, permeabilized cells, living cells). Optimized substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titration (SUIT) protocols offer a powerful tool for comprehensive mitochondrial physiology analysis by HRR[2]. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells, platelets and permeabilized fibers are relevant models for diagnostic analysis of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in clinical applications (e.g. aging, sarcopenia, obesity). Science and particularly mitochondrial respiratory research face a reproducibility crisis[3]. Consequently, Oroboros is strongly committed towards reproducibility by promoting:

  1. O2k quality control (i.e. calibrations, instrumental background, DatLab software);
  2. proficiency tests with reference samples for inter-laboratory harmonization[4,5]; and
  3. training by scientific experts.

Supported by the COST Action MitoEAGLE network, we generate reference values for an Open-Access mitochondrial respirometry database, which requires harmonization of nomenclature[6]. With a large O2k-Network, the Oroboros Ecosystem operates in the frame of collaborative Open-Innovation (NextGen-O2k with Q-redox sensor, NAD(P)H autofluorescence and PhotoBiology module) to promote quality and reproducibility in mitochondrial to promote quality and reproducibility in mitochondrial physiology.
