Join us for an insightful webinar where Covestro's experts will introduce Maestro, a breakthrough diagnostic demonstrator that showcases how advanced materials enable smarter, more sustainable solutions at the intersection of healthcare and electronics. This innovative device marries IMSE® (In-Mold Structural Electronics) technology with Makrolon® polycarbonate and other high-performance materials from Covestro.
In this webinar, we will explore how Maestro addresses the evolving needs of modern diagnostics through material-driven advantages. We'll discuss the seamless design aesthetic that is easy to clean and maintain—critical for healthcare applications. You'll learn how a new Makrolon® polycarbonate provides clarity and low autofluorescence delivering molecular diagnostics testing, while electronics integration enables a better user experience with touch screen functionality and embedded connectivity. We'll cover how IMSE® technology maximizes resource efficiency, design flexibility, and reliability by embedding electronics and structure in a single part, allowing for intuitive and illuminated seamless smart surfaces.
The webinar will also highlight Maestro's enhanced chemical resistance housing, built to withstand certain aggressive disinfectants used in hospitals, labs, and homes, as well as next-generation flame-retardant protection in response to evolving regulatory requirements. Additionally, we'll discuss how the Maestro combines advanced functionality with more sustainable design and electronic integration, making it ideal for today's clinical and home healthcare applications.
