Short Description
The Seahorse XF Analyzer is an advanced instrument that allows scientists to investigate cellular function in real time by measuring the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) in living cells. These parameters are crucial for understanding cellular metabolism, including mitochondrial respiration and glycolytic activity. The device is widely used in biomedical research, including in the areas of cancer, metabolic diseases, neurodegeneration, and cardiology.
