O2k signals and output

Description

Three electronic channel types are available in the O2k-MultiSensor system. All channels are available twofold (dual-data), for O2k-Chambers A (left) and B (right), based on signals (numerical) sent at a fixed data sampling time interval (typical: 1 s or 2 s; range 0.2 s to >10 s).

O2k signals

O2k-Core.jpg
1. O2 channel with electric current (ampere [Amp]) as the primary signal, which is converted to a voltage (volt [V]) as the raw signal. The O2k-Core supports not only the O2 channel (O2 plug), but also the channel types 2 and 3 for the add-on modules.
2. Amp channel: The amperometric channel of the O2k (Amp plug), has electric current (ampere [Amp]) as the primary signal, which is converted to a voltage (volt [V]) as the raw signal. The Amp channel is used with the O2k-Fluo LED2-Module and the O2k-NO Amp-Module.
3. pX channel with electric potential (volt [V]) as the primary and raw signal (BNC pX plug for the ion sensitive electrode, ISE; and separate plug for the pX reference electrode, Ref).


NextGen-O2k: additional channel types are available in the NextGen-O2k:

4. Dual-fluo channel.
5. Spectrophotometric channel.


System channels, for instrumental control, not separated into O2k-Chamber A and B (single-data), based on signals (numerical) sent at the same fixed data sampling time interval:

6a. Block temperature: Measured block temperature equivalent to the experimental temperature in the O2k-Chambers at steady state [°C].
6b. Peltier power (system channel): Relative heating or cooling power of the Peltier system.
6c. Barometric pressure (system channel): Measured barometric pressure [kPa].
6d. Ambient temperature (system channel): Measured temperature of room air (O2k-Series G upwards) [°C].
6e. External temperature (system channel): Temperature measured with an independently placed thermistor (O2k-Series G upwards) [°C].


Events carry information on a time point during the experiment, a short event name (text), and a longer string of comments (text):

7. Events: Automatic events (e.g. from the TIP2k) and manually triggered events.


O2k output

The 'output' of a channel is the finally important information, which may be summarized in a data base.


Calibrated signals and derived plots: Three types of output can be derived from the signal of the channels supported by the O2k-Core and displayed as separate plots:

I: Concentration. Examples: O2; Ca2+; concentration is amount of substance per volume [1 µM = 1 µmol·dm-3 = 1 nmol·ml-1].
II: Flow, flux, rate. Examples: O2 consumption; H2O2 production; volume-specific flux is the negative or positive time derivative of concentration over time, frequently multiplied by 1,000 [pmol·s-1·ml-1]. Volume-specific flux normalized for the cell density [106·ml-1] is flow [pmol·s-1·ml-1]. Volume-specific flux normalized for the mass density of the sample in the O2k-Chamber [mg·ml-1] is mass-specific flux [pmol·s-1·mg-1]. Flux in any respiratory state normalized for flux in a defined reference state is a rate [dimensionless] or flux control ratio.
III: Force, potential. Examples: TMRM and Safranin for mt-membrane potential; redox potential from redox states of cytochromes or NADH .

Output types for the O2k-MultiSensor modules

1. O2 channel - O2k-Core: Output type I and II.
2a. Amp channel - O2k-Fluo LED2-Module: The focus of the output depends on the specific fluorophore. Output type I, II, or III, or any combination may relate to the primary level of interest.
2b. Amp channel - O2k-NO Amp-Module: Output type I and II.
3a. pX channel - O2k-TPP+ ISE-Module: Output type III.
3b. pX channel - O2k-pH ISE-Module: Output type I and II.


Additional output types for the NextGen-O2k

4. Single-fluo channel - NextGen-O2k: Plots of one selected wavelength can be selected for recording. Output type I(1), II(1), III(1) depends on the fluorophore.
5. Dual-fluo channel - NextGen-O2k: Plots of two selected wavelengths can be selected for simultaneous recording. Output type I(2), II(2), III(2) depends on the fluorophore.
6. Spectrophotometric channel - NextGen-O2k: Output type IV (three plots for redox states of cytochromes aa3, b, and c).
