Abstract

The measurement of mitochondrial function has become imperative to understand and characterize diseases characterized by bioenergetic alterations. The advancement of automation and application of high-throughput technologies has propelled ourunderstanding of biological complexity and facilitated drug discovery. Seahorse extracellular flux (XFe) technology measures changes in dissolved oxygen and proton concentration in cell culture media, providing kinetic measurements of oxidative phosphorylation and glycolytic metabolism. ImageXpress® Nano is an automated fluorescent microscope with the ability to perform high-content, fast, and robust imaging in multi-well formats. In this chapter, we present a comprehensive protocol to multiplex the Seahorse XFe24 analyzer withthe ImageXpress® Nano high content imaging microscope to provide a comprehensive yet rigorous profile of bioenergetics and its correlation to neuronal functionand morphology.
