Seahorse XF Cell Mito Stress Test Kit
Agilent TechnologiesThe Agilent Seahorse Cell Mito Stress Test kit is the widely recognized, well accepted standard assay for assessing mitochondrial function. Multiple parameters are obtained in this one assay including, basal respiration, ATP-linked respiration, maximal and reserve capacities, and non-mitochondrial respiration. The assay provides insights into the mechanism of mitochondrial dysfunction and allows users to investigate functional differences among cell types, drug candidates, and genetic or biochemical interventions. Each kit contains the material sufficient for six full plate tests and is available in two packaging sizes. The XF kit is for use with the Agilent Seahorse XF Pro, XF96/XFe96 and XFe24 Analyzers. The XFp kit is for use with the Agilent Seahorse XF HS Mini and XFp Analyzers.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.
