XF Cell Mito Stress Test Kit

Everything you need to measure mitochondrial function in cells

Part # 101706‐100

Measurements of mitochondrial function are essential to understanding cancer, aging, and metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases. The XF Cell Mito Stress Test Kit makes it easy to measure the four key parameters of mitochondrial function in a microplate: basal respiration, ATP turnover, proton leak, and maximal respiration, revealing critical information not evident in basal metabolism measurements alone.

Now you can confidently quantify cellular bioenergetics, identify mitochondrial function, and measure cells' response to stress.

  • Complete, easy-to-use kit for 6 microplates
  • Software wizard guides assay optimization, design, and interpretation
  • Designed for the XF Analyzers

Using the pre-calibrated, pre-tested reagents, the XF Cell Mito Stress Test Kit reveals the complete mitochondrial stress profile, while new algorithms automatically calculate the most important metrics, simplifying your work.

Measure basal respiration, ATP turnover, proton leak, and spare respiratory capacity.

XF Cell Mito Stress Test Profile

Mito Stress Test

The fundamental parameters of mitochondrial function: basal respiration, ATP turnover, proton leak, and maximal respiration, or spare respiratory capacity.

Each XF Cell Mito Stress Test Kit eliminates the questions and concerns of where to source the reagents, what concentrations are optimal, and best storage conditions. Each convenient kit contains enough reagents to run six XF24 or XF96 microplates, allowing you to run a full mitochondrial profile in each well. With the reagents now ready at your fingertips, the XF Cell Mito Stress Test Kit is your ultimate tool for assay optimization.
