| Overview | Combining enhanced usability features with over 40 years of experience of the Multiskan product brand. A reliable, easy-to-use microplate photometer ideal for immunoassays (ELISA), protein assays, endotoxin detection, enzyme assays, growth curves, and cytotoxicity and proliferation assays. Multiskan FC can be used as a stand-alone instrument or under PC control with intuitive SkanIt Software. | This UV/Vis microplate spectrophotometer is an easy-to-use microplate reader for photometric and turbidimetric applications, especially for DNA, RNA, and protein analyses, including endpoint, kinetic, and spectral assays. Available in different configurations, touchscreen models offer the flexibility to use the system as stand-alone, or together with SkanIt Software for PC control. With Thermo Fisher Connect and Microsoft OneDrive cloud-based tools, convenient data processing is easier than ever with the Multiskan SkyHigh platforms. | Our versatile, entry-level multimode well plate reader offers multiple detection modes for a variety of UV-Vis absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence microplate assays. The Varioskan ALF microplate reader is ideal for nucleic acid and protein quantification, bacterial growth curves, ELISA, and cell viability. Varioskan ALF models rely on SkanIt Software to simplify and accelerate assay setup, data analysis, and transfer, offering a visual workflow and a very large collection of ready-to-use microplate reader protocols. | Designed specifically for researchers with a wide variety of assay requirements, the Varioskan LUX multimode microplate reader raises the bar for reliability, versatility and ease of use. The Varioskan LUX can measure absorbance or fluorescence intensity with optional modules for luminescence, time-resolved fluorescence (TRF, TR-FRET, hTRF), and AlphaScreen assays. Self-diagnostics, autocalibration, and built-in smart safety controls can ease workflows and help avoid experimental errors on this multimode microplate reader. |
