"MARTA is in regular use at our animal facility and has been very well received by our research team. It supports our commitment to refinement by providing objective, vital-sign-based guidance before and during surgery. This allows more stable anaesthesia protocols and better animal welfare practices."

"I work with head-fixed mice under isoflurane and triple anesthesia. An easy way to monitor anesthesia levels and control body temperature is mandatory for successful experiments. MARTA provides this all-in-one and supports optimal perianesthetic monitoring." 

"It was a very productive half-day when Marc visited our department of neuroscience to introduce the MARTA device and its stereotaxic add-ons. Our veterinarians gave an introduction on the physiology of mice, and Marc presented the work behind MARTA, highlighting that it was developed not only as a technical tool but as a contribution to animal welfare, the 3Rs, and improved surgical outcomes. He then gave a practical demonstration with animals enrolled in an ongoing project. As organizer of this event, I was very happy with the smooth organization and the positive feedback from the authorities, who accredited this demonstration as continuing education."

"The MARTA pad is a great addition for researchers working with mice, making day-to-day work more efficient and straightforward. I found it especially helpful, together with the MARTA Box, during anaesthetic induction and recovery, which are often the most delicate phases to manage. These stages can be stressful and critical, and the system makes them much smoother and safer for the animals. Beyond that, I really appreciate how easy the MARTA pad is to use. No software, no installation, just plug and play. The fact that it works right out of the box is a real advantage."

"Our team found the session highly applicable to our day-to-day work. During the live stereotactic procedure, we saw both the MARTA Pad and its stereotactic add-ons in action, giving us a clear picture of how straightforward physiological monitoring can be embedded into established workflows. The MARTA App’s real-time display and alert system supported a more responsive and data-driven approach. From an accreditation standpoint, the structure and content of the Demo Day were clearly valuable."

"MARTA is an all-in-one solution for performing vital signs measurements and supports us in our daily research. It allows observation and monitoring of the animal without visual contact. Vital signs can be better adjusted and monitored, as it responds instantly to changes in heart rate and respiratory rate. The easy wireless operation and simple cleaning make it convenient to work with MARTA."

"MARTA has become a vital part of our daily brain research. We use MARTA for monitoring during surgeries and two-photon imaging with isoflurane anaesthesia. Thanks to MARTA, our work environment is digitalized and our workflow is seamless, with more efficient preparation." 

"Marc’s visit to Utrecht was a very welcome addition to our ongoing efforts to improve intraoperative monitoring. His presentation offered a fresh perspective by connecting physiological data to anaesthesia-related risks, and the topic clearly resonated with our team. The live demonstration showed how the system performs during an actual procedure and highlighted its practical value under real conditions. The MARTA Pad itself appeared intuitive and adaptable to different types of procedures, which is important for daily use in our facility."

"We found the MARTA Pad, its stereotactic add-ons, and the MARTA App very user-friendly and easy to integrate into our surgical workflows. Together, they greatly helped us monitor the animals’ vitals throughout surgery and gave our team clearer insight into their physiological status at every stage. We’ve successfully used the equipment in procedures with mice, and it worked reliably throughout. It’s a practical and flexible solution for improving intraoperative monitoring."

"Setting up the MARTA Pad with the Stereotax Adapter Mouse was straightforward and integrated smoothly with our stereotactic frame. Beyond heating, the system allowed real-time monitoring of vital signs, giving us crucial control and awareness during surgery. This data helps us detect subtle physiological changes, which we consider essential under anaesthesia. With all components fully sterilisable, the setup can be safely shared between labs, making it both practical and flexible for our facility."

"At the Preclinical Facility, we prioritise maintaining animal welfare and upholding regulatory standards to support our main tasks, including maintaining and genetically monitoring rodent strains, transgenic services, and behavioural studies. MARTA's technology streamlines our processes, providing an efficient monitoring solution for researchers on campus. This enhances our ability to promote dignified and respectful research, making MARTA an invaluable addition to our facility. The decision to invest in MARTA was motivated by our commitment to animal welfare and our support for scientists as they pursue groundbreaking discoveries in a manner consistent with our ethical responsibilities." 

"The Demo Day with Marc offered more than a technical introduction. Drawing on his research background, he shared practical insights that moved the conversation beyond tools alone. The discussions were scientifically rich and opened a deeper exchange on current challenges in anaesthesia and monitoring. The format encouraged reflection on both practical and ethical aspects of our work, bringing a fresh perspective and reinforcing the value of ongoing dialogue in maintaining research quality and responsibility."

"MARTA supports our ongoing efforts to enhance reproducibility and refine procedures. The system is a thoughtfully engineered solution that aligns with both our scientific and operational goals. Our collaboration with Vigilitech has been highly constructive, with responsive and effective support whenever needed."

"Our team found the webinar very informative. Marc shared data that clearly demonstrated how monitoring during induction and surgery can help uncover issues that might otherwise go unnoticed. The presentation maintained a strong focus on scientific insight and practical application, which made the content directly useful for our work. The session was well-paced, and the Q&A provided a valuable opportunity to reflect on how we could implement improved monitoring into our own routines."
