Abstract

We compared three optical platforms for measurement of cellular respiration: absolute oxygen consumption rates (OCRs) in hermetically sealed microcuvettes, relative OCRs measured in a 96-well plate with oil seal, and steady-state oxygenation of cells in an open 96-well plate. Using mouse embryonic fibroblasts cell line, the phosphorescent intracellular O2 probe MitoXpress-Intra, and time-resolved fluorescence reader, we determined algorithms for conversion of relative OCRs and cell oxygenation into absolute OCRs, thereby allowing simple high-throughput measurement of absolute OCR values.
