Analyzer Measures Metabolism

Seahorse Bioscience introduces the XFp Extracellular Flux Analyzer—an extension to the XF product platform. Seahorse Extracellular Flux (XF) Analyzers perform real time ‘stress tests’ of the two major energy-producing pathways of the cell mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis—detecting important changes in metabolism as reported in more than 1,000 peer reviewed publications. The XFp Analyzer delivers these same standard metabolic assays (the XF Cell Mito Stress Test, the XF Glycolysis Stress Test, and the XF Metabolic Switch Test).

Incorporating a patent pending miniplate, the XFp is ideal for use in pairwise comparisons of patient-derived samples, or other precious samples from animal models. The compact, XFp Analyzer has touch screen-based software, and streamlined workflow that makes designing and running XF assays straightforward. XF analyzers and stress test kits have set the standard for the measurement of cell metabolism, enabling scientists to connect genomic and proteomic data to cellular function.With this knowledge, scientists are generating new insights into metabolic function, leading to a greater understanding and new treatments of disease.
