MiPNet15.03 O2k-MultiSensor-ISE 1. Introduction and scope The pX channel of the Oroboros O2k yields a record of a potentiometric (voltage) signal simultaneously with the oxygen signal in both O2k- chambers. O2k-TPP ISE- Module consists of two ion-selective electrodes (ISE) separate reference electrodes.

A very effective cleaning procedure is immersion of the electrode in a solution of living or dead cells (surplus from cell cultures) or tissue homogenates in the O2k- chamber. If necessary, this should be performed after rinsing with (1) water, (2) ethanol, and (3) water.
MiPNet15.03 O2k-MultiSensor-ISE insufficiently respond to the analyte (even after re- conditioning in the storage solution) the membrane must be exchanged. 2.5. Reference electrode: assembly, storage and maintenance The Reference-Electrode\2.4 mm for ISE is composed of an internal silver-silver chloride electrode with an internal filling solution of 3 M KCl saturated with AgCl.
3. O2k-MultiSensor system The O2k-FluoRespirometer supports all add-on O2k- Modules and includes all O2k-MultiSensor channels mentioned below. For O2k- Series B and C see Appendix. Before handling the BNC plugs (on the O2k-Main Unit) and connecting the electrodes, always touch the...

4.2. Volume calibration with ISE-MultiSensor stoppers When using an ISE-MultiSensor stopper, the ISE and reference electrodes must be in place when calibrating the O2k-chamber volume, comparable to volume- calibration with standard stoppers (MiPNet19.18A). Mitochondria and cell research Oroboros Instruments...
MiPNet15.03 O2k-MultiSensor-ISE Add to the dry O2k-Chamber containing the stirrer bar a water volume accounting for the final chamber volume (2 mL) plus the additional dead volume in the capillary and spaces between electrodes and inlets. For the Oroboros ISE Assembly (ion selective electrode and...
MultiSensor experiments. 4.4.1. Dithionite background Because of difficulties involved in opening and closing the O2k-Chamber with an ISE-MultiSensor Stopper, it is strongly recommended to use the instrumental background procedure based on dithionite injections (MiPNet14.06) to avoid repeated opening and closing of the O2k-Chamber.
100 mM KCl solution. The calibration runs should be performed right before a biological experiment using experimental medium. In the case of a TPP electrode being used to determine membrane potential, ideally the biological sample is injected into the O2k-chamber directly after TPP calibration. typical ISE-calibration...

0.1 mM solution is used. 4.5.4. calibration with the TIP2k Fill the O2k-chambers with medium and close the chamber with electrodes inserted as described above. Fill the TIP syringes with the calibration solution and insert the TIP needles into the chambers.
MiPNet15.03 O2k-MultiSensor-ISE TIP2k titrations: Start calibration titrations with the TIP2k after a stable signal is obtained. The following TIP2k setup can be applied, starting at 0.7 µM TPP Why do you not simply give the name of the TiP2k setup...
A membrane should only be replaced when performance longer satisfactory. O2k-MultiSensor control and calibration 5.1. pX signal Graphs can be constructed to include both, recorded oxygen and pX, or several graphs can be added to display oxygen and pX data separately. All graph settings can be saved as user-defined layouts (MiPNet19.18C).
In the O2k configuration window the pX electrode is entered for documentation. The gain for the pX channel is set in the O2k control window [F7], tab Potentiometric, pX to 10, 20, 40, or 80. The gain amplifies the “pX Raw Signal”.
MiPNet15.03 O2k-MultiSensor-ISE 5.3. Calibration In the example of TPP calibration with TiP2k, the values of -6.155, -6.046, -5.959, -5.886, -5.824 correspond to LogTPP concentrations 0.7, 0.9, 1.1, 1.3, 1,5∙10 M respectively. The concentrations were used as mark names and Log of these concentrations for concentration in the marks specifications.

MiPNet15.03 O2k-MultiSensor-ISE The graph shows linear dependence of raw signal on Log[TPP ], the slope represents the sensitivity of the TPP electrode in [V/1]. The real sensitivity is calculated by dividing the sensitivity [V/1] by gain. In the example the sensitivity is 1.1907/20 = 0.05953 V per unit of Log[TPP ] or 59.53...
O2k series. The series is specified as the first character of the serial number of the O2k, printed on the sticker on the rear of the O2k housing (MiPNet19.18A). A serial number B-#### or C-#### denotes an Oxygraph from the B or C series, while D-#### denotes an Oxygraph from the D series and so on.
