See what endpoint assays miss
Maestro Z captures all stages of your experiment in one plate. Reveal dynamic, kinetic responses with the power of cellular impedance and see what your endpoint assays aren’t telling you.
>> Don’t disturb the underlying biology
>> Capture chronic and acute responses
>> See the full time course and analyze kinetics
One instrument, many uses
Cellular impedance is a proven and well-established technique for monitoring key parameters of cell structure and behavior, making Maestro Z a versatile platform adaptable to the many assay needs of your lab. The Maestro Z platform can measure:
Proliferation
Cytotoxicity
Barrier/TEER
Signaling
Morphology
No labels, dyes, or complicated steps
There’s no optimization of labels, dyes, or incubation times. No lot-to-lot reagent variability to confound your results. Replace costly endpoint assays with Maestro Z or easily multiplex with your favorite assays to supplement your research. Running the assay couldn’t be easier:
1. Plate & culture your cells normally
2. Record on the Maestro Z and dose
3. Analyze your data
Accelerate your research with better, faster data
Compare conditions and make decisions on comprehensive datasets with just one plate. Here, different gene editing methods demonstrated different kinetics, only revealed by a continuous live-cell assay.
Sensitive electrodes provide a high degree of resolution. The Maestro Z assay was able to differentiate E:T ratios in this cell killing assay to effectively compare therapeutic potencies.
The simplicity of the assay ensures reliable, reproducible data. Here, minimal intra-assay variability is observed between plates.
The ideal tool for discovery
Whether characterizing the development of disease models or screening new therapeutics, quality functional readouts are essential for making informed decisions. The Maestro Z platform is an essential tool in academic and pharmaceutical labs worldwide.
>> Virology
Track cytopathic effects for real time viral titer, antiviral, and neutralization assays.
>> Barrier function
Monitor cellular barrier integrity using transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER).
