Discover Maestro
Maestro MEA offers unmatched power and versatility for electrophysiological research. It delivers more than just high-quality data—it delivers actionable results. Built with the latest BioCore technology, Maestro enables detailed functional analysis to help accelerate breakthroughs in your lab.
What can your MEA do?
- Network firing
- Burst analysis
- Synchrony
- Spiking
Dynamic Responses
With the Maestro Pro, you can detect key parameters of neural activity, network dynamics, and cardiac functionality. Measure cell growth, cytolysis, barrier function, and signaling—all label-free and in real time. This level of detail empowers researchers to make informed decisions based on precise data.
Push-Button Acquisition
Simplify your workflow with the Maestro Pro’s push-button acquisition feature. The system automatically adjusts temperature and CO₂ levels while the integrated barcode scanner conveniently tracks plate usage. This efficiency allows you to focus on your experiments rather than on setup.
How Maestro MEA Works
Measuring activity with the Maestro Pro is easy, label-free, and instantaneous. Cells may be measured as often as you want for as long as you want and maintained normally in any standard incubator when not in use. There’s no easier way to add detailed electrophysiological profiling of your research.
(1) Plate your cells in an MEA plate and culture normally. (2) Load the plate in your Maestro Pro and press record. (3) Action potentials are noninvasively measured by electrodes embedded in the well bottom. (Learn more) (4) AxIS software quickly analyzes the activity providing publication-ready figures.
Precise Cellular Control
Recreate specific patterns of cellular activity effortlessly using electrical stimulation or light pulses, thanks to the Lumos™ optical stimulation system. This capability is essential for studies requiring controlled cellular responses.
Integrated Environment
The Maestro Pro’s smart environmental chamber allows you to control temperature and CO₂ levels easily while suppressing electrical noise and mechanical vibrations. This means you won’t need to sacrifice incubator space for your experiments.
Multiplex your assay: Maestro + Omni
Platform cross-compatibility lets you view live-cell imaging alongside real-time, functional data to enhance your analysis. Monitor electrode coverage and cell morphology to ensure consistent, high-quality results across experiments. Experience no-hassle tracking—the Axion Portal automatically links all relevant data via barcode for easy access and streamlined data management.
High-Throughput Assay
Designed for busy laboratories, the Maestro Pro can record from 6 up to 96 wells of MEA data or 96 to 384 wells of impedance data. This high-throughput capability ensures you can handle large volumes of data efficiently.
On-the-Go Connectivity
Stay connected to your research with the Impedance module. Track changes in cell proliferation, viability, and cell death from any mobile device, allowing you to monitor experiments without being tied to the lab.
