Seahorse Bioscience, now part of Agilent, is known for their XF Analyzers used to measure oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) of live cells in a multi-well plate, interrogating key cellular functions such as mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis. XF Analyzers perform compound addition and mixing, label-free analytical detection, and automatic measurement of OCR and ECAR in real time. Also under Seahorse are the MiToXpress and pH-Xtra plate reader assays, easy to use kits for measuring real-time energy flux, mitochondrial function, glycolysis and substrate utilization in living cells, isolated mitochondria, 3D cultures, and microbes.
