Maestro Edge

The Maestro Edge is a versatile multiwell microelectrode array (MEA) and impedance system designed for noninvasive cellular function evaluation. Designed for both precision and ease-of-use, it is ideal for conducting in vitro assays across 6-, 24-, and 96-well throughput options, although the 96-well format is specific to impedance measurement.

This system is adept at monitoring the electrical activity of excitable cells like neurons and cardiomyocytes, as well as tracking the growth and death of cancer cells, providing high-quality data that is essential for accelerating research efforts.

Key Features

• Label-free, real-time measurements: Analyze neural network activity, cardiac functions like action potential and contractility, and cellular growth and viability.
• Environmental control: A smart chamber finely controls cell conditions such as temperature and CO₂, while minimizing noise and vibrations.
• High throughput analysis: Conduct 384 simultaneous recordings with Neural and Cardiac modules, and 96 with the Impedance module for comprehensive insights into cell biology.
• Multiplexing capabilities: CytoView™ technology allows for cell visualization, complementing functional data with visual assessments.
• Automated usability: Easily start assays with single-button setup, with temperature and CO₂ auto-adjustments upon plate docking.
• Remote monitoring: Monitor biological kinetics and cellular changes over time on a smartphone, without the need for physical lab presence.

With its cross-compatibility with other platforms like Maestro Pro and the Omni Pro 12™, users can view real-time data alongside live-cell imaging to enhance analytical depth.

The Maestro Edge supports a range of application-oriented software modules, including Neural, Cardiac, MEA Viability, MEA Automation, Impedance, and GxP Impedance, allowing customization based on specific assay requirements, from neural network analysis to cardiac performance measurement, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

Continually evolving since its inception, the Maestro Edge has become a staple in academic, biotech, and pharma labs worldwide, particularly for those focusing on disease modeling and drug discovery.
