The MitoPedia terminology is developed continuously in the spirit of Gentle Science.
Work in progress
The MitoFit QCS will be officially introduced at the MitoFit Training Camp 2016. At present, this page is 'work in progress'.
Aims
The MitoFit Quality Control System (MitoFit QCS) is initiated to develop and implement standards in respirometric OXPHOS analysis, applied in comparative mitochondrial physiology, mitochondrial medicine, and clinical diagnosis.
Definitions
For a high-quality data repository, a QCS is required, based on a consistent and accessible terminology. Terms are defined in the MitoPedia system; these definitions will be formally approved by the MitoFit accreditation panel (to be formed), and will be labelled as MitoFit accredited for consistent use in the MitoFit data repository (under construction).
Examples of terms that require approval are listed below:
