Overview
“Our 3D interfaces worked great on our
Maestro Pro MEA”
“The MEA Creator Kit enabled us to integrate a custom 3D neural interface for studying spheroids, organoids, and assembloids into our workflow. Our 3D interfaces worked great on our Maestro Pro MEA system to study coordinated bursting across the surface of cortical spheroids”
- Colin Franz, MD, PhD, Shirley Ryan AbilityLab
