Thermo Scientific SkanIt Software streamlines data acquisition and analysis, helping ensure a seamless workflow that allows your research to advance with confidence.
Whether you require basic plate reading or more complex protocols with powerful analysis capabilities, the intuitive, efficient, and error-reducing SkanIt platform helps empower you to optimize your research, and offers superior control over the instrument settings for your Thermo Scientific microplate reader.
SkanIt Software is designed to conveniently serve multiuser environments. Operation is simple and straightforward, whether you need only basic plate reading capabilities or more complex protocols with powerful analysis. SkanIt Software offers flexible and versatile features for advanced applications. Given SkanIt Software is an open-license platform that authorizes unlimited installation privileges, analysis can be done outside of the lab while measurements are ongoing as you can easily transfer sessions between different computers.
SkanIt Software incorporates various measures to help prevent errors like prompting users to rename experiments to avoid data mix-ups or loss. Measurement data from executed sessions are preserved unless the user intentionally deletes the file, allowing for experimentation and iterative design within the software. The specialized Drug Discovery Edition enhances data security by utilizing a database to includes features that enable compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, such as digital signatures, user login with Windows authentication, and comprehensive audit trails.
SkanIt Software helps enhance productivity with its rapid processing capabilities and the option to analyze data on a computer separate from the main laboratory system. The software includes a royalty-free license, offers easily accessible data, provides comprehensive analysis tools for various common workflows, and supports automatic data import into custom-defined Microsoft Excel templates.
SkanIt Software Research Edition saves data into program-specific files with the file extension .skax, which is automatically recognized by the Windows operating system. This makes opening of data files very fast and easy. Just double-click a .skax file in any folder to immediately launch SkanIt Software and open the data.
This intuitive visual tool lets you quickly enter sample information in a manner that resembles reagent pipetting, making it easy to define the plate layout.
The measurement protocol setup is easy. Simply add the instrument actions to the session tree in the order they will be performed. The software offers flexible features for assays of different complexities.
Measurement data are continuously saved during the run, to help ensure that data are not lost due to unexpected interruptions such as power outages. The software has a clear display where data are shown in convenient result numbers, kinetic curves, spectral graphs, and 3D graphs. The software brings additional integrity to your research by saving important information with traceability. Temperatures, time stamps of actions, errors, and warnings are just a few of the prompts you will receive. With the optional integrated gas module, the log will also report the CO₂ and O₂ concentrations.
Easily analyze your data directly in SkanIt Software. Select from a variety of data processing tools:
The SkanIt Cloud Library is a collection of verified sessions that anyone can use as examples, training materials, or templates to create assay protocols. The SkanIt Cloud Library sessions all have complete calculation protocols, with real assay data using samples and reagents. With the easy-to-use search feature, you can enter any keyword to find the protocol you need.
SkanIt Software presents easily accessible, comprehensive reports of both measured and calculated data. Users can also select the way the data are organized and sorted—export the results report in .xlsx, .pdf, .xml, or .txt file format. Additionally, using the “auto loading” feature, you can load measurement data automatically into a predefined Excel file for further calculations.
