Thermo Fisher Scientific Introduces New Microplate Photometer for Research and Routine Applications
1 Apr 2008Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today introduced the new Thermo Scientific Multiskan FC microplate photometer. The Multiskan FC combines 30 years of experience with new features for enhanced usability. The new system combines the renowned reliability of the Multiskan range with a new large color screen, “quick keys” and multiple language options to ensure excellent usability. The Multiskan FC is a reliable and robust microplate photometer for scientists, lab technicians, students and other laboratory personnel performing a wide variety of routine and basic research applications. This new mircoplate will be showcased at the Thermo Scientific booth 105/204, Hall B1 at Analytica 2008, being held in Munich, Germany, from April 1-4.
Designed to process both 96- and 384-well microplates, the Multiskan FC can be controlled as a stand-alone instrument or via the Thermo Scientific SkanIt® Software, in a number of different languages. Furthermore, ready-made sessions for the SkanIt software can also be downloaded from the Internet for most common assays. Equipped with an onboard shaker and optional incubator the Multiskan FC is suitable for a wide variety of photometric applications, such as end point, dual wavelength and kinetic assays. Built using the highest-quality components, the Multiskan FC conforms to regulatory requirements such as RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and IVD directive (98/79/EC), making it ideal for routine and research laboratories.
The Multiskan FC has a comprehensive range of built-in and optional quality, verification and self-diagnostic tools. The proven and patented optical design, together with the built-in self-diagnostics tools and auto-calibration feature, guarantee proven day-to-day performance. The installation, operation and performance qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) tool, enhanced with a special Multiskan Verification Plate, are available to verify reliable operation. These wide-ranging features and a compact footprint ensure that the Multiskan FC is an excellent microplate photometer for a wide range of applications in all laboratories.
