The oxygen solubility factor of the respiratory medium 𝘍M depends on temperature and medium composition. In MiR05 and MiR06, 𝘍M is 0.92 (determined at 30 °C and 37 °C; assumed identical at 25 °C), while in culture media it is 0.89 (at 37 °C). For other media, 𝘍M can be estimated by treating KCl-based media as “seawater” of varying salinity.

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth at the Long Night of Research in Innsbruck last Friday!

We had a great time sharing insights into why mitochondria and proteins are so central to the human body, and discussing our current research, including the MitoDrugs project in collaboration with KinCon biolabs.

We really appreciated all the engaging conversations and your interest in our work!

Stubborn colored layers on the cathode?
Does the cathode remain dirty after polishing with the cloth and powder? If a stubborn colored layer persists, apply a drop of 50–75 % nitric acid solution for no more than 15 seconds. Rinse thoroughly with distilled water.

High signal at zero oxygen?
If you observe a high signal at zero oxygen during the O₂ zero calibration despite injection of an excess volume of a freshly prepared dithionite solution, run the leak current test to identify which component is causing the elevated R0 signal.

The isolation and cryopreservation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) necessitate standardized methodologies to ensure comparability across laboratories and studies. Romero et al. describe an optimized workflow for PBMC isolation and cryopreservation that emphasizes the reduction of platelet contamination and the preservation of cell viability and functional integrity for high-resolution respirometry.
