BioTek Resources for Agilent MitoXpress® Xtra Oxygen Consumption Assay

Introduction

The Agilent MitoXpress® Xtra Oxygen Consumption Assay allows real-time measurement of oxygen consumption of whole cells or isolated mitochondria. BioTek offers a dedicated filter cube assembly, pre-programmed Gen5 protocol, and user tutorial specifically optimized for use with the lifetime signal acquisition of the assay on the BioTek Cytation 1, Cytation 5, Synergy H1, or Synergy Neo2 instruments equipped with TRF capability.
