The Thermo Scientific™ Multiskan™ SkyHigh Microplate Spectrophotometer is a versatile and high-performance UV/Vis microplate reader, designed for photometric and turbidimetric applications, including DNA, RNA, and protein quantification. It offers full-spectrum measurements (200–1000 nm) with fast scan speeds and is optimized for endpoint, kinetic, and spectral assays.
The touchscreen model allows for stand-alone use with an intuitive interface and also integrates with Thermo Scientific™ SkanIt™ Software for advanced PC-controlled workflows. The system supports a wide range of microplate formats (6- to 384-well) and μDrop™ micro-volume plates, with optional cloud connectivity via Thermo Fisher Connect or Microsoft OneDrive for remote data access and management.
