Discover the Multiskan SkyHigh Microplate Spectrophotometer, a versatile UV/Vis microplate spectrophotometer engineered for ease of use across a broad spectrum of photometric research applications. Whether you're analyzing DNA, RNA, proteins, or measuring turbidity, this microplate reader is designed to meet your needs effortlessly.
The Multiskan SkyHigh system is available in various configurations, offering the flexibility required to adapt to diverse laboratory demands. Choose from touchscreen models that function as stand-alone instruments or for those who prefer PC-based operations, a dedicated Multiskan SkyHigh model operated exclusively via SkanIt Software is also available. Additionally, select models include cuvette reading capabilities when higher levels of precision are required or sample availability is limited.
With an array of options and applications, the Multiskan SkyHigh Microplate Spectrophotometer helps ensure you maximize the lab's potential.
Features
Rapid measurement of low sample volumes
Thermo Scientific µDrop and µDrop Duo Plates are designed for rapid measurement of low sample volumes. You can analyze up to 32 samples simultaneously and quickly and easily wipe off the samples for serial measurements.
Thermo Fisher Connect and Microsoft OneDrive
Thermo Fisher Connect and Microsoft OneDrive cloud-based capabilities enable users to access, manage, and share data remotely, available on touchscreen models.
SkanIt software
SkanIt software can be used to control the Multiskan SkyHigh spectrophotometer and supports optimal use of the instrument’s features with a visual workflow, easy data analysis, and exporting capabilities.
Flexibility
Available in three different configurations: 1) touchscreen, 2) cuvette and touchscreen, and 3) operated only with SkanIt PC Software.
Fast operation
Full spectrum (200–1,000 nm) of a well is obtained in less than 10 seconds and a full 96-well microplate is read in 6 seconds.
