Maestro Z Live-cell Analysis
Discover the power of label-free, real-time cell analysis with the Maestro Z live-cell analysis platform. Built on Axion BioSystems’ proven impedance technology, get continuous, noninvasive insights into cell behavior — from proliferation and cytotoxicity to barrier integrity and cell attachment.
Track dynamic cell responses without the need for dyes, labels, or endpoint assays. Whether you’re studying cell health, screening new drug candidates, or monitoring complex barrier models, the Maestro Z platform provides the throughput, automation, and sensitivity to meet your research and discovery needs.
Key Features
Get more from every plate
With impedance-based analysis, one plate tells the whole story — delivering rich, quantitative data that reveal how cells respond in real time, insights you can’t capture from a single endpoint assay. And because the system uses no dyes or labels, you can easily pair it with your favorite endpoint assays for even deeper biological understanding.
- >> Dynamic, kinetic assays: Capture every phase of the cellular response.
- >> Label-free flexibility: No dyes required so multiplex-compatible.
- >> Quantitative and reproducible: For better, clearer results.

Maestro TrayZ: An assay powerhouse in your incubator
With a thin multiplate design developed to accommodate multiple trays in one incubator, Maestro TrayZ is perfect for labs with limited bench space or multiple users and simultaneous experiments.
Maestro Z: Quality data at an affordable price
The Maestro Z makes quality real-time data accessible to any lab. The introductory system boasts a small benchtop footprint with fully integrated environmental controls.
Software that simplifies live-cell analysis
AxIS Z software for the Maestro Z platform makes live-cell analysis effortless. With an intuitive interface, you can move seamlessly between live signals and calculated results — including cytolysis, barrier function, and EC₅₀ values — all in real time. Built-in tools for controls, normalization, and data visualization make it easy to go from experiment to insight in just a few clicks.
Whether you’re running a single assay, managing an automated screening workflow, or operating in a regulatory environment, the Maestro software adapts to your lab’s needs with flexible modules designed for every environment:
Software module compatibility
Plates designed for performance
CytoView-Z plates deliver high-quality, label-free impedance data in 96- and 384-well formats. Each well features interdigitated gold electrodes and a transparent bottom for cell visualization and multiplexing with imaging or endpoint assays.
