This paper describes application of a strongly advertised multi-well system (XF, 'Seahorse Bioscience') for respirometry with isolated mitochondria.  Whereas multi-well systems do provide high throughput, it must be critically assessed if this is equivalent to high output of useful data and information.  Based on expertise in [[high-resolution respirometry]] and [[mitochondrial physiology]], the paper by Rogers et al (2011) is discussed.

Comments by Erich Gnaiger

This paper describes application of a strongly advertised multi-well system (XF, 'Seahorse Bioscience') for respirometry with isolated mitochondria. Whereas multi-well systems do provide high throughput, it must be critically assessed if this is equivalent to high output of useful data and information. Based on expertise in high-resolution respirometry and mitochondrial physiology, the paper by Rogers et al (2011) is discussed.

Comparison with low-resolution instruments

Low-resolution instruments (compare HRR) with Clark-type polarographic oxygen sensors were used for validation of data obtained with the XF.
