This paper describes application of a strongly advertised multi-well system (XF, 'Seahorse Bioscience') for respirometry with isolated mitochondria. Whereas multi-well systems do provide high throughput, it must be critically assessed if this is equivalent to high output of useful data and information. Based on expertise in high-resolution respirometry and mitochondrial physiology, the paper by Rogers et al (2011) is discussed.
Conflicts of interest:

Instrumental specifications of the XF multi-well system are missing
Comparison with low-resolution instruments
Low-resolution instruments (compare HRR) with Clark-type polarographic oxygen sensors were used for validation of data obtained with the XF.
