Maestro Pro: High-performance MEA for real-time, functional biology

Engineered for high-demand discovery and regulated laboratory environments, Maestro Pro enables precise measurement of dynamic cellular activity with the sensitivity and throughput required for evolving workflows. Maestro Pro is a high-performance, scalable multielectrode array (MEA) platform designed to quantify electrophysiology in real time across a wide range of in vitro models. 

Core Features

• Real-time, label-free electrophysiology – Quantify extracellular field potentials and impedance-based activity without dyes, reporters, or destructive processing—enabling continuous functional monitoring over minutes to months.

• Multiparametric functional analysis – Measure spikes, bursts, network synchrony, conduction velocity, field potential duration, action potential morphology and more to generate meaningful datasets.

• Scalable multiwell throughput – Multiple plate formats with simultaneous measurement support seamless transition from exploratory studies to structured screening workflows while maintaining assay consistency and reproducibility.

• 2D and 3D culture compatibility – Designed for use with monolayers, organoids, and microphysiological systems, explore advanced electrophysiological characterization across increasingly complex biological systems.

• Integrated software and reproducible workflows – Automated data acquisition, integrated environmental controls, robotic API, intuitive analysis tools, and standardized consumables promote consistent, publication-quality data across users, laboratories, and regulated environments.

As the scientific community increasingly relies on predictive functional data to guide research and decision making, Maestro Pro empowers scientists to make confident, data-driven decisions across research pipelines. Using noninvasive, label-free extracellular field potential (and impedance) measurements, the system captures functional responses from human iPSC-derived neurons, cardiomyocytes, and other electrically active cell types. Researchers can detect and quantify a multitude of neural spiking and network activity as well as cardiac action potential morphology and conduction parameters that reflect integrated cellular and network function. By providing insight beyond static or single endpoint approaches, Maestro Pro delivers a more comprehensive understanding of biological response.

The platform supports applications spanning disease modeling, early compound screening, secondary pharmacology, and safety assessment. Continuous recording enables monitoring of acute effects, delayed responses, and long-term phenotypic changes without dyes, reporters, or destructive processing. This approach generates longitudinal datasets that strengthen interpretation of compound effects and disease phenotypes.

Maestro Pro is designed for workflow flexibility and data quality. Multiple plate formats support scalable throughput from exploratory experiments to larger screening campaigns. Compatibility with 2D monolayers and emerging 3D systems—including organoids and microphysiological systems—allows researchers to apply advanced electrophysiological characterization across increasingly complex biological models. Automated data acquisition and integrated analysis tools streamline experimental setup, multiparametric quantification, and export of publication-quality datasets.

Standardized consumables, intuitive software, and advanced engineering promote reproducibility across plates, users, and laboratories. Concentration–response studies, longitudinal monitoring, and multiparametric profiling can be performed within a unified workflow, supporting consistent data generation in discovery, translational, and regulatory environments.

Whether advancing screening programs, characterizing functional phenotypes, or evaluating compound liabilities, Maestro Pro provides the sensitivity, clarity, and scalability required for modern biological research.
