Purpose

Seahorse XF24 Extracellular Flux Analyzer is a fully-integrated instrument that simultaneously measures the two major energy yielding pathways – aerobic respiration and glycolysis – in a convenient, microplate format. It provides the ability to:

• Simultaneously measure oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) in as little as five minutes
• Perform time-resolved measurements of a single population of cells over a period of minutes, hours or even days
• Re-use cell samples after completing an XF measurement
