Excitable cells play a fundamental role in life, from heart beats to brain function. Maestro MEA systems capture live-cell activity from electroactive cells in real-time, allowing scientists to recreate complex human functions in culture dishes. As a result, scientists can now conduct research that spans from rapid stem cell development to advanced drug screening.
Enter Maestro Pro and Edge, the world’s most advanced MEA systems. Built on Axion’s latest chip technology, BioCore v4, this next generation of Maestro MEA makes it even easier to perform measurements from excitable cells in your own lab. With “one button setup,” the cell environment automatically adjusts on plate docking, and plate usage is automatically logged for convenient experiment tracking. Any scientist can now quickly and easily measure electrical network behavior in live cells in multiwell plates.
Now there’s nothing stopping you from exploring life’s circuitry.
