  • Page 8 Introduction Figure 2 Principle of the Agilent Seahorse XFp Glycolytic Rate Assay. Energy is produced by two pathways in the cell - glycolysis, and mitochondrial respiration. In the breakdown of glucose to lactate during glycolysis, protons are extruded into the extracellular media which is detected by the XFp Analyzer as ECAR.

    Agilent Seahorse XFp Glycolytic Rate Assay Kit User Guide Frequently Asked Questions Why does the assay require the use of buffered media, will it dampen the ECAR signal? A low concentration of HEPES (5 mM) has been found to provide consistent buffer capacity values across the time frame of the assay.
