Scientific objective
- Together with a literature review and preliminary data from the Oroboros MitoFit laboratory, we are going to publish the test results in collaboration with the Department for Medical Statistics, Informatics and Health Economics, Medical University of Innsbruck, as part of the K-Regio Project MitoFit.
- With the participation in the MitoFit Proficiency Test, you agree on the use of experimental data collected for the test, to be used for research purposes in an anonym way.
Time requirements
- Level 1. Air calibration and Instrumental background oxygen flux: ca. 3 hours
- Level 2. SUIT-1 or SUIT-2: ca. 3 hours, including air calibration
- Level 3. Data analysis: 1 hour
- Within the timespan of one workday, your personal proficiency is comprehensively evaluated, using your own O2k and your laboratory equipment,
