Mateo TL

If you are a researcher looking for consistent experimental outcomes, Mateo TL is the perfect solution. With this tool, all lab members can easily and comfortably check and document cell growth status. By measuring confluency consistently, you can increase your confidence in the success of downstream experiments.

Mateo TL simplifies the cell culture checking process for all team members with its user-friendly setup and operation. It enhances experiment reproducibility by providing objective confluency evaluation, which is consistent across experiments and team members.

  • Simple to use, also for non-experts
  • Go from setup to the first image in under 1 minute
  • One common criterion for consistent confluency measurements
  • Enhance your team’s comfort

Simple to use, also for non-experts

Empower your entire team to observe and take images of samples easily and intuitively.

  • All lab members, regardless of expertise, can set up contrasting methods correctly using the interactive assisted contrast setup feature
  • Observe and take images of samples easily with the intuitive and user-friendly software interface
  • Mateo TL eases the training burden on technicians, supervisors, and senior researchers

Go from setup to the 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 has a standardized way to measure confluency in the lab. The confluency algorithm calculates the percentage of cell coverage 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

Smart functionalities

Observe, take images of samples and export images quickly and conveniently using enhanced smart functionalities

  • Wirelessly transfer images directly to your smartphone or tablet with the quick share feature
  • Easily reproduce the imaging conditions of a previous reference image in the gallery using the repeat function
  • Free up more time from sample observation by eliminating the need to make frequent adjustments to the light and camera settings for each magnification with Mateo TL’s built-in light memory function
