Intuitive setup & use
Mateo TL makes the process of cell culture checks effortless for every team member, with intuitive setup and use. It improves reproducibility for your experiments through objective confluency evaluation across individuals or experiments.
Go from setup to first image in under 1 minute
Benefit from a ready-to-use system which you can start working on right away.
In addition, for cell culture work in regulated environments, once installed and qualified by our service team, you can start using Mateo TL immediately with consistent and reliable results from the start.
You can add Installation Qualification (IQ) and Operational Qualification (OQ) to the service plan, which helps to document and verify that Mateo TL is installed and operating according to Leica’s specifications.
One common criterion for consistent confluency measurements
Mateo TL offers one common criterion for measuring confluency across the entire lab. The confluency algorithm measures the percentage of area covered by cells in the image.
Mateo TL confluency module enables you to:
- Eliminate subjective estimations
- Achieve consistency in your confluency measurements between different users and experiments
- Take the guesswork out of confluency evaluation
- Use a common tool across lab experiments to consistently carry out confluency measurements and reduce variations
- Improves experiment reproducibility
- Minimizes human bias by using the confluency module at the point of decision
