19 个常见问题解答

Is a PC included with purchase of the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer?

No, a PC is not included with purchase of the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer. Please contact your local Technical Support team for computer requirements.

For the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer, do you have plate reader software that meets CFR 21 Part 11 regulations? Does the SkanIt Software have tracking function/electronic signature? Do you have a clinical version of SkanIt Software?

Yes, these functions are available. However, you will need to purchase SkanIt Software for Microplate Readers, Drug Discovery Edition (Cat. No. 5187149) separately.

Is software included with purchase of the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer?

Yes, SkanIt Software Research Edition version 6.0 is included with purchase of the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer. SkanIt Software is open-license software for unlimited installation on multiple computers.

Can I print directly from the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer to a Wi-Fi-enabled printer?

No, the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer cannot send data directly to a Wi-Fi-enabled printer.

Is the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer Wi-Fi-enabled?

Yes. A USB Wi-Fi-adapter (not included with purchase of the instrument) can be used to connect the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer (touch screen models only) to the Thermo Fisher Cloud.

Which cuvettes are compatible with the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer?

Any cuvette with dimensions 12.5 mm (W) x 12.5 mm (D) x 40-58 mm (H) will fit into the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer port, which has a beam center height of 8.5 mm and beam window of ≥ 2 mm.

Can a Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer without the cuvette port be upgraded to have the port after purchase?

No, the cuvette port cannot be added to the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer after purchase. We offer Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer models with the cuvette port (Cat. No. 51119700 or 51119700DP).

Can I use a cuvette with the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer?

Yes, you must order the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer model that has the cuvette port (Cat. No. 51119700 or 51119700DP).

Can I use the µDrop Plate (Cat. No. N12391) with the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer?

Yes, the µDrop Plate can be used with the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer. Prewritten protocols are available in the SkanIt Software Cloud Library.

What is the useful life of the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer's Xenon flash lamp?

The Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer's Xenon flash lamp has a typical lifetime of 1 x 10E9 flashes or reading 1 million microplates (96-well) using 100 ms measurement time.

When do I need to use pathlength correction with the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer?

We recommend using pathlength correction whenever you are taking direct absorbance measurements in a microplate, typically for DNA, RNA, or protein measurements in the UV range.

Can the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer be integrated with robotics?

Yes, the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer can be integrated with robotics.

Is the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer available with dispensers? Can I add dispensers after purchase?

No, dispensers are not available for the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer.

What is the maximum plate height that can be used in the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer?

In the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer, the maximum plate height that can be used is 18.5 mm including the lid.

What kind of plates can I use with the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer?

96-well and 384-well clear polystyrene plates can be used in the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer. UV-grade plates must be used for reading below 340 nm. V-bottom plates should not be used. Refer to the Plate Selection Table for Microplate Readers (https://assets.thermofisher.com/TFS-Assets/BID/Flyers/nunc-plate-selection-table-plate-readers-flyer.pdf).

Can I use the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer to read fluorescence/luminescence? Can it be upgraded to read fluorescence/luminescence?

No, the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer is a dedicated absorbance reader that reads only absorbance in the UV and visible range. For fluorescence and luminescence, please consider the Fluoroskan, Fluoroskan FL, Luminoskan, or Varioskan LUX microplate reader: https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/lab-equipment/microplate-instruments/microplate-readers.html

Can I use the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer to perform spectral scans? What is the wavelength range for spectral scanning?

Yes, the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer can perform spectral scanning. The spectrum measurement measures the defined wavelength range in distinct wavelength steps. The beginning and ending wavelengths can be set anywhere from 200 to 1000 nm with a step wavelength between 1 and 100 nm.

Do I need to use filters in the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer?

No, filters are not necessary in the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer.

What is the wavelength range for the Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer?

The wavelength range is 200 to 1000 nm with 1 nm resolution.
