Thermo Scientific - Multiskan FC
Multiskan FC Microplate Photometer. Filter-based microplate photometer for research and routine applications.
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.
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. 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.
