Agilent Launches the New Mito-rOCR Assay Kit for Accurate Mitochondrial Function Analysis

Agilent Technologies Inc. has introduced the Mito-rOCR Assay Kit, an innovative and accessible solution for researchers studying mitochondrial function. This cost-effective, easy-to-use kit enables precise measurement of mitochondrial respiration, a crucial aspect of understanding cell health and pathology. Designed to be compatible with various fluorescent plate readers and multimode imagers, the Mito-rOCR Assay Kit provides flexibility for labs of all sizes.

Mitochondria, known as the “powerhouses” of cells, play a central role in energy production. Assessing mitochondrial health is essential in research fields like disease pathology and drug development. The Mito-rOCR Assay Kit offers an efficient way to measure the relative oxygen consumption rate (rOCR), shedding light on mitochondrial health with high accuracy.

Key features of the Agilent Mito-rOCR assay kit

• Ease of Use: Streamlined protocol suitable for researchers of all skill levels
• Cost-Effective: Affordable solution for routine mitochondrial analysis
• High Compatibility: Works with popular devices like the BioTek Cytation series
• Reversible Assay: Reagents do not penetrate cells, reducing interference
• Enhanced Data Processing: Seamlessly integrates with Seahorse Analytics software

Flexibility and accuracy for advanced mitochondrial studies

The Mito-rOCR assay measures the rOCR in cells, capturing sensitive changes in mitochondrial function. Researchers can use the assay on a range of compatible fluorescent plate readers, including the BioTek Cytation series, known for its advanced software and optimal environmental controls. With the integration of Agilent Seahorse Analytics, data analysis becomes straightforward, offering visualization options that save time and reduce errors.
