📢We are pleased to introduce the BEC Educational Series, which delves into core concepts of mitochondrial biology and bioenergetics, key terminology, and practical guidance for conveying complex science in common language without losing accuracy. 📚 👉doi.org/10.26124/bec.2…

📚The first article in the BEC Educational Series breaks down the fundamentals of cellular respiration—clear, precise, and scientifically sound. Perfect for students, curious minds, and science communicators. 👉doi.org/10.26124/bec.2… #mitochondria #bioenergetics

What is the ideal stirring speed in the small-volume Chamber s𝘝? While 750 rpm (default for the classic-volume Chamber c𝘝) can be applied to the Chamber s𝘝, 550 rpm is recommended to reduce shear stress without compromising the signal-to-noise ratio. buff.ly/CG0aHZh

Zdrazilova L et al. evaluated the respiration of suspended human fibroblasts using the Oroboros sV-Module in comparison to the attached cells measured in a 24-well Seahorse XF Analyzer. Read the publication: buff.ly/SBYCFiz #bioenergetics PLOS One

Foam in cappuccinos👍Foam in the Oroboros Chamber👎 Removing bubbles and foam can be tricky, especially in the Chamber sV. To avoid formation, stop the stirrer before adding samples, turn it back on before inserting the stopper. 📚buff.ly/kg8q5r3 📺buff.ly/luUzOra

How was your weekend? Ours was fantastic: we held an Oroboros Workshop in Baton Rouge with the help of host and local organizer Brian Irving (Brian A. Irving, PhD, FACSM, LSU School of Kinesiology). Thanks to all who joined the fun, the science, and of course, the BBQ! More photos: buff.ly/fh37AyM

Working with the s𝘝-Module? Heads up: some SUIT chemical stock solutions concentrations differ between the c𝘝- and s𝘝-Chambers. Make sure your DL-Protocol ends with “_sV” Example: SUIT-001_O2_ce-pce_D003_𝘀𝗩 🧠 Learn more: 🔗 buff.ly/2oRR5pa 🔗 buff.ly/8QOnoB1

We're enjoying our week in Baton Rouge at #MiPschool2025. Great to connect with brilliant students and researchers! buff.ly/xuXbW4V Pennington Biomedical Research Center

We mentioned the s𝘝-Module was perfect for working with limited material or low-respiration samples. 🧪 Here are some examples: PBMCs, adipocytes, primary cells, slow-growing cultures, or samples with defective mitochondria. buff.ly/2MYKKG3 buff.ly/bNYTiv3

Missed us in Baton Rouge last week? Have no fear, you can meet up with us this summer at events in Italy, Denmark or the US: buff.ly/lQaw9ip #GIBB2025 #MiPschool2025 #ICQ10A #UMDF2025

The difference between routine and basal respiration? Basal respiration reflects minimal metabolism for essential body functions, while routine is driven by energy demand and turnover, and coupling to phosphorylation. Routine buff.ly/C67rOgv Basal buff.ly/LhBU6Gd

The study by Korandová et al shows pathway control ratios of permeabilized PBMCs may serve as a reliable predictor for mitochondrial diseases in patients with Complex I defects. 📚 buff.ly/IN7NqYg Alena Pecinova Eliška Koňaříková Mracek Lab Fyziologický ústav AV ČR 1. lékařská fakulta Univerzity Karlovy VFN Praha
