Multiskan™ Ease Absorbance Microplate Reader without Touchscreen

The Thermo Scientific™ Multiskan™ Ease Absorbance Microplate Reader (without touchscreen, ME002000C) is a cost-effective, entry-level absorbance reader with a wavelength range of 400–760 nm, designed to streamline both routine and advanced microplate-based assays. With straightforward SkanIt™ Software integration to make absorbance reading easy, fast, and smart.

For researchers performing ELISA, protein quantification, cytotoxicity, and other absorbance assays, the Multiskan™ Ease enables reliability, flexibility, and ease of use. Its easy workflow integration—covering data transfer, analysis, and reporting—enhances laboratory productivity without the need for additional training. Backed by near 50 years of trusted performance, the Multiskan™ Ease combines robust functionality with the confidence of the Thermo Scientific brand.

Application

Multiskan™ Ease accommodates endpoint measurement on a comprehensive array of analytical and biological assays:

• ELISA immunoassays
• Protein quantification- Bradford, Lowry, BCA, and peptide assays
• Endotoxin assays
• Cell cytotoxicity and proliferation – alamarBlue™, PrestoBlue™, and CyQUANT™ assays (following external incubation)
• Enzyme activity measurement

Features

• Efficient white LED light source offers exceptional stability, energy efficiency, and extended lifetime operation
• Enhanced optical design enables accurate absorbance measurements, consistent plate-to-plate performance, and long-term instrument stability
• Compatibility with 96-well plates with and without lid
• Redesigned easy-to-change 8-positions filter wheel and durable hard-coated optical filters (3 pre-installed: 405 nm, 450 nm and 620 nm) for long-lasting operation and low maintenance.
• Intuitive SkanIt software for streamlined workflow management and comprehensive data analysis
• Dependable performance and reliable daily operation with proprietary optics and self-diagnostics

Additional Configuration

For laboratories requiring enhanced usability and environmental control, Thermo Scientific offers another model, ME001000C, which features an 8-inch full-color touchscreen interface for standalone operation and an integrated incubator to support temperature-controlled assays. This model further expands flexibility for kinetic studies and workflows where on-instrument control and incubation are essential.

The instrument includes a 1-year standard warranty, with extended warranty coverage and IQ/OQ/IPV services available separately. Verification plates (Cat. No. 24072800 and 24072805) are available for routine performance qualification, enabling verification of photometric accuracy, precision, linearity, wavelength accuracy, and stray light. Additional optical filters can be purchased separately to support different assay requirements and expand application flexibility.
