Thermo Scientific Multiskan FC Microplate Reader with UV-Vis Monochromator and Temperature Control
Product Description
The Thermo Scientific Multiskan FC Microplate Reader provides versatile and precise absorbance measurements across a broad wavelength range of 340 to 850 nm, ideal for DNA, RNA, and protein quantification essential in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing. Featuring an advanced monochromator system with 1 nm increments and fast spectral scanning within 10 seconds, it ensures high spectral resolution critical for biotechnology and synthetic biology research.
Key technical specifications include:
- 96- and 384-well plate compatibility, including lided and µDrop plates for low-volume samples down to 2µL, essential in gene editing and molecular cloning workflows.
- Quartz halogen lamp light source coupled with photodiode detection and an 8-position filter wheel (with standard filters at 405, 450, and 620 nm) for flexible assay configurations.
- Precise absorbance measurement range of 0–6 Abs with ±1% accuracy and coefficient of variation ≤0.2%, suitable for biomolecular quantification and enzymatic kinetic analysis.
- Optional temperature control up to 45°C and user-selectable shaking modes (slow, medium, fast), supporting live-cell assays and enzyme kinetics in biomanufacturing and biomedical engineering.
- Robust software control via SkanIt software, enabling complex kinetic, spectral, and quality control analyses, with data export options compatible with Excel for streamlined data management in clinical diagnostics.
- Integrated robotic compatibility and internal memory for storing assay protocols and test results, facilitating automation in high-throughput synthetic biology labs.
The Multiskan FC is widely adopted in biotechnology laboratories for its reliability, versatility, and precision in absorbance microplate reading applications. Its broad wavelength range and advanced features make it critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines, molecular biology research, and fluorescence analysis workflows.
This instrument is pre-calibrated and validated to manufacturer standards, with options to expand filter availability, providing a scalable solution for diverse experimental needs in biotechnology, neuroscience, and cell imaging research fields.
