Agilent Seahorse instrument

Uses

  • Agilent Seahorse XFe96 Analyzers measure the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) of live cells in a 96-well plate format

    • 96-well plate format accommodates many conditions in a single run, for flexible assay design, dose-response studies, and screening
    • Reports real-time metabolic rates in minutes, without sample extraction or labelling
    • Four-port injection system with automated mixing function, for detection of live-cell responses to substrates, inhibitors, and other compounds in real time
    • High-sensitivity analysis of as few as 5,000 cells per well using the custom 96-well plate
    • Precision-controlled heating tray, maintains 16–42°C temperatures (12–20°C above ambient conditions), for compatibility with a variety of sample types
    • Quickly determine dependency of cellular energy production on mitochondrial substrates
    • Generate a metabolic phenotype within one hour for fast data turnaround
    • Analyze 3D samples such as spheroids and islets
    • Wave software allows easy assay protocol creation and data analysis on your desktop PC and export to common spreadsheet and graphing programs
