Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer

Exceptional user experience

The Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer is a UV/Vis microplate spectrophotometer designed to be convenient and easy to use for virtually any photometric research application, especially DNA, RNA and protein analysis. It is ideal for multi-user environments where a variety of endpoint, kinetic and spectral assays are performed. Multiskan Sky instruments are available in three different configurations. Touch screen models offer the flexibility to use the stand-alone instrument or in conjunction with Thermo Scientific SkanIt PC software. The Multiskan Sky model operated solely via SkanIt software is ideal for users who rely on a PC for all operations. Cuvette reading capability is also offered in some models.

Fast, easy nucleic acid and protein sample measurements in low volumes

Our μDrop Plate is designed for rapid measurement of low sample volumes. You can analyze up to 16 samples simultaneously. Users can quickly and easily wipe off the samples for serial measurements. SkanIt Software sessions are available for nucleic acid analysis. The μDrop Plate also contains a dedicated holder for cuvette measurements. 

Simple-to-use software enables experiment set up within minutes

SkanIt software can be used to control the Multiskan Sky spectrophotometer and supports optimal use of the instrument’s features with a visual workflow, easy data analysis and exporting capabilities. SkanIt software is a multi-instrument microplate reader software that provides excellent usability and flexibility even for the most challenging assays.

Access and manage your data remotely

The Multiskan Sky instrument touch screen models can connect to Thermo Fisher Connect cloud-based tools to help ensure secure digital data management, permit remote access to your photometric data and sharing between colleagues—all from the comfort of your computer.

Varioskan LUX Multimode Microplate Reader

Varioskan LUX Multimode Microplate Reader

A delightfully easy to use multimode reader

Our newest multimode microplate reader combines simplicity with top-of-the-line performance. Designed for researchers with a wide variety of needs, the Thermo Scientific Varioskan LUX Multimode Microplate Reader offers features that help save time and reduce common errors in the lab—including automated dynamic range selection, which adjusts the optimal reading range based on signal intensities; and built-in safety controls, which alert you to potential errors before they happen.

Catering to all applications, skill sets

Varioskan LUX is a versatile tool for busy labs. Configure the instrument to your needs, then upgrade when your research focus changes. Supports the following measurement technologies:

  • Absorbance (UV-Vis, including pathlength correction)
  • Fluorescence Intensity (including FRET)
  • Luminescence (direct and filtered, including BRET)
  • AlphaScreen / AlphaLISA
  • Time-resolved fluorescence (including TR-FRET, hTRF)
Flexible wavelength selection

The instrument selects the measurement wavelength using filters or monochromators, depending on which is optimal for each measurement technology.

  • Monochromators in absorbance and fluorescence intensity
  • Filters in AlphaScreen and time-resolved fluorescence
  • Luminescence without wavelength selection (filters can be used if required)

The instrument also allows spectral scanning for ultimate flexibility for identifying the optimal measurement wavelength for any assay, now and in the future.
