Seahorse XF Substrate Oxidation Stress Test Kits
The Agilent Seahorse XF Substrate Oxidation Stress Test Kits are a suite of optimized solutions for rapidly measuring cellular substrate oxidation by assessing changes in oxygen consumption (OCR) in live cells. These kits allow for the interrogation of three primary substrates that fuel the mitochondria: long chain fatty acids , glucose/pyruvate, and/or glutamine, facilitating investigation of how cells alter or shift oxidation of specific substrates to perform key cellular functions of activation, proliferation, and differentiation, as well as to respond to genetic or pharmaceutical interventions or survival in microenvironments. By combining the well-recognized XF assay for mitochondrial function (Cell Mito Stress Test) with substrate pathway specific inhibitors (etomoxir, UK5099, BPTES), these kits report multiple functional parameters, providing rich and robust data. The kits are supplied with validated reagents, standardized protocols, and easy-to-use Seahorse Analytics to enhance the user experience.

Product Details
Features
- Discover how cell phenotype or fate can be controlled via manipulation or control of substrate oxidation activities
- Understand which substrates are relevant or required for specific cellular function and/or phenotype using specific, optimized XF Substrate Oxidation Stress Test kits and protocols
- Build on the well-accepted XF assay (XF Mito Stress Test) for interrogating mitochondrial metabolism: dive deeper into effects of specific substrate oxidation on cellular function, including activation, proliferation, differentiation, and dysfunction
- Use specific substrate pathway inhibitors to reveal cells’ dependency on three primary mitochondrial substrates: long chain fatty acids, glucose/pyruvate, and/or glutamine under both basal respiration and high energy demand condition
- May be used individually or in combination, allowing investigation of single or multiple substrates at the same time
- Provides rich real-time multiparametric information not available from conventional endpoint substrate uptake or utilization assays
- Compounds are reconstituted directly in the assay medium, eliminating the need for DMSO or other solvents
- Every lot is rigorously tested and validated with functional assays to deliver consistent and robust results
- Upload your assay result file to your Agilent Seahorse Analytics account to calculate and report parameters of the XF Substrate Oxidation Stress Test, share with collaborators, or export data to Microsoft Excel or GraphPad Prism for other graphing or analysis needs
