Multiskan™ Ease Absorbance Microplate Reader

The Thermo Scientific™ Multiskan™ Ease Absorbance Microplate Reader is a modern visible-range absorbance reader (400–760 nm) designed to simplify both routine and advanced microplate-based assays. It supports 96- and 384-well plate formats and features an intuitive 8-inch full-color touchscreen with built-in shaking and incubation for temperature-sensitive protocols. With straightforward SkanIt™ Software integration to make absorbance reading easy, fast, and smart.

For researchers performing ELISA, protein quantification, cytotoxicity, enzyme kinetics, and other absorbance assays, the Multiskan™ Ease enables reliability, flexibility, and ease of use. Its easyworkflow 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.
