Seahorse Extracellular Flux (XF) Analyzer

The Seahorse Extracellular Flux (XF) Analyzer makes cellular bioenergetic studies simple, efficient and user friendly. The in vitro metabolic measurement systems non-invasively profile the metabolic activity of cells in minutes, offering a physiologic cell-based assay for determination of basal oxygen consumption, glycolysis rates, ATP turnover and respiratory capacity in a single experiment to assess mitochondrial dysfunction.

By measuring the two major energy producing pathways of the cell simultaneously, mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis, scientists get the most physiologically relevant bioenergetic assay available, resulting in a better overall view of metabolism. The XF Analyzer also measures fatty acid oxidation and metabolism of glucose and amino acids for kinetic metabolic information.

Adherent cells, primary cells, suspension cells and isolated mitochondria can be analysed easily. XF Analyzers allow users to measure mitochondrial function and dysfunction in living cells with less set-up and clean-up than Clark electrode methods.

No labels, radioactivity, dyes, trypsin or permeabilisation is required.
