Overview

The Maestro TrayZ is a cutting-edge live-cell impedance platform designed for real-time assessment of cell health and function. It allows for continuous monitoring of up to eight 96-well plates simultaneously, generating precise and reproducible kinetic data through cellular impedance. The platform’s slim, multiplate tray fits easily into an incubator, optimizing laboratory space utilization.

This system is particularly effective for a wide range of applications such as cytotoxicity assessment, cell growth analysis, cell adhesion studies, immune cell-mediated killing investigations, TEER/barrier function evaluation, wound healing processes, GPCR signaling analysis, and viral cytopathic effect detection. Researchers can rely on Maestro TrayZ to save time, reduce costs, and enhance workflow efficiency.

For enhanced data management, the device supports barcode tracking, which ensures correct plate documentation as recordings automatically commence upon docking, eliminating the need for manual computer input.

  • Continuous non-invasive, label-free electrical measurements from cultured cell populations avoiding dye or reporter interference.
  • Scalable throughput with the ability to handle up to four plates simultaneously per tray, with options to connect multiple trays for increased capacity.
  • AxIS Z software simplifies experiment setup, execution, and analysis.
  • Cross-compatibility with platforms like the Omni and Omni Pro 12 allows concurrent live-cell imaging and real-time functional data analysis.

Utilizing impedance technology, the platform tracks cell presence, morphology, and behavior by measuring electrical current obstructions within the culture substrate. This method is instrumental for applications such as antiviral compound evaluation, cell barrier integrity monitoring, tumor biology modeling, cellular growth tracking, and cell viability assessment.

The Maestro TrayZ system is compatible with Maestro impedance plates featuring transparent well bottoms for both cell visualization and assay multiplexing, available in 96-well formats. These aspects make it a formidable choice for advancing research in immuno-oncology, cytotoxicity, virology, and beyond.

Note: The system is intended for research use only and not for diagnostic procedures.
