Multiskan Ease Absorbance Microplate Reader

Overview

Overview

The Thermo Scientific™ Multiskan™ Ease Absorbance Microplate Reader is a modern visible-range absorbance reader (400–760 nm) designed to simplify both routine and advanced microplate-based assays. It supports 96- and 384-well plate formats and features an intuitive 8-inch full-color touchscreen with built-in shaking and incubation for temperature-sensitive protocols. With straightforward SkanIt™ Software integration to make absorbance reading easy, fast, and smart.

For researchers performing ELISA, protein quantification, cytotoxicity, enzyme kinetics, and other absorbance assays, the Multiskan™ Ease enables reliability, flexibility, and ease of use. Its easyworkflow integration—covering data transfer, analysis, and reporting—enhances laboratory productivity without the need for additional training. Backed by near 50 years of trusted performance, the Multiskan™ Ease combines robust functionality with the confidence of the Thermo Scientific brand.

Applications

Multiskan™ Ease accommodates a comprehensive array of analytical and biological assays:

• ELISA immunoassays- endpoint and kinetic formats
• Protein quantification- Bradford, Lowry, BCA, and peptide assays

• Cell cytotoxicity and proliferation – alamarBlue™, PrestoBlue™, and CyQUANT™ assays
• Enzyme kinetic assays- activity, inhibition, and rate studies
• Growth curve analysis for microbial populations- population monitoring and turbidity analysis

Features

• Large 8-inch full-color touch screen with user-friendly multi-language interface that streamlines assay setup, data review, and instrument control
• Efficient white LED light source offers exceptional stability, energy efficiency, and extended lifetime operation
• Enhanced optical design and precision thermal control enables accurate absorbance measurements, consistent plate-to-plate performance, and long-term instrument stability
• Compatibility with both 96- and 384-well plates with and without lid, integrated shaking, and incubation up to 45°C
• Redesigned easy-to-change 8-positions filter wheel and durable hard-coated optical filters (3 pre-installed: 405 nm, 450 nm and 620 nm) for long-lasting operation and low maintenance.
• USB-C and USB-A connectivity for simple data transfer; fully compatible integration with automation platforms; cloud-ready architecture
• Intuitive SkanIt software for streamlined workflow management and comprehensive data analysis
• Dependable performance and reliable daily operation with proprietary optics and self-diagnostics

The instrument includes a 1-year standard warranty, with extended warranty coverage and IQ/OQ/IPV services available separately. Verification plates (Cat. No. 24072800 and 24072805) are available for routine performance qualification, enabling verification of photometric accuracy, precision, linearity, wavelength accuracy, and stray light. Additional optical filters can be purchased separately to support different assay requirements and expand application flexibility.
