Note: Titration of chemicals in respirometry
- Overshoots or short interruptions of the flux after the injection of chemicals do not have a meaning in respirometric measurements. A disturbance of the signal is only observed due to the injected chemical and does not represent mitochondrial respiration. With the addition of a chemical solved in ethanol a little bit of oxygen is always introduced, since ethanol has higher oxygen solubility than water.
Further information
- Safety information: fixed needles are used with rounded tips, not usable for injection into tissues.
- Hamilton microsyringes are specifically produced for O2k-titrations and can be ordered directly from Oroboros Instruments to assure exact fitting with the O2k-Stopper and O2k-Chamber dimensions.

- Eliminate rough edges with 3M™ Wetordry™ Paper Sheet P1000 by gentle rubbing.
- Use a cleaning wire for the needle. If a syringe is clogged , sometimes it is also helpful to fill it from the back with EtOH or H2O and try to press the plunger gently down.
