Thermo Scientific™ Multiskan™ Skyhigh Microplate Spectrophotometer
State-of-the-art touchscreen, cloud-connected microplate spectrophotometer with built-in protocols for common assays such as nucleic acid and protein analysis. Comes with intuitive Thermo Scientific SkanIt Software.
Cytotoxicity
As far as simplicity goes, this spectrophotometer is hard to beat. For day-to-day use with or without a connected pc compared to our old spectrophotometer it excels at readout speed and assay setup. We mainly use it for endpoint cytotoxicity assay analysis and protein / DNA content analysis (thanks to a handy μDrop plate). High readout accuracy is expected from a modern spectrophotometer and in this department, it also does not disappoint. The software is also very clear and intuitive (the same as in the Varioskan lux) but for fast and simple tasks we often use the integrated LCD screen. This device is also very easy to use for beginner users, even our students can use it without an issue within 15 minutes of training.

Exceptional user experience delivered by a state-of-the-art microplate spectrophotometer
The Thermo Scientific™ Multiskan Sky™ Microplate Spectrophotometer is a UV/Vis microplate spectrophotometer designed to be convenient and easy to use for virtually any photometric research application, especially DNA, RNA and protein analysis. It is ideal for multi-user environments where a variety of endpoint, kinetic and spectral assays are performed. Multiskan Sky instruments are available in three different configurations. Touch screen models offer the flexibility to use the stand-alone instrument or in conjunction with Thermo Scientific SkanIt PC software. The Multiskan Sky model operated solely via SkanIt software is ideal for users who rely on a PC for all operations. Cuvette reading capability is also offered in some models.
