Short Description
The Maestro TrayZ is an impedance-based measurement system for label-free, non-invasive real-time analysis of adherent cell cultures in multiwell plates equipped with integrated microelectrodes. It enables continuous monitoring of cell proliferation, viability, barrier function (e.g., TEER), morphological changes, and cellular responses to pharmacological or toxicological stimuli.

Research Services
The Maestro TrayZ is provided in self‑service mode. After appropriate training, the device and the necessary supporting infrastructure can be operated autonomously by researchers affiliated with the Vetmeduni as well as by external researchers.
Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure
The research infrastructure is open to internal users and external collaborators. Access is provided following appropriate training.
Expertise in this area is currently being developed, with initial applications and methodological implementations underway. The objective is to collaboratively establish standardized protocols and systematically expand methodological competence in label-free, kinetic cell analysis.
The infrastructure is explicitly designed as a cooperative platform to explore new application areas and to support translational research projects.
