Product Detail
Assay setup and instrument control
SkanIt Software gives the user total control over the Varioskan Flash spectral scanning multimode reader, the Multiskan FC filter based photometer, the Mutiskan Spectrumspectrophotometer and the Appliskan filter based multimode reader, and supports optimal use of the instruments features. SkanIt Software is highly visual and has a familiar Windows-type user interface that makes assay setup and data handling easy.
Visual workflow with the steplist feature The workflow in SkanIt Software is visual and easy to follow with the graphical steplist feature. Any assay can easily be created by adding steps to the steplist. Each step corresponds to an instrument action (e.g. dispense, measure) and a new action can easily be added by adding the corresponding step to the steplist.
Maximum flexibility for complex assays
The steplist also offers utmost flexibility in assay setup, as any number of steps can be added to the steplist. A session can contain several measurement steps and for multilabel assays, several wavelengths can be measured almost simultaneously.
Real-time data during measurement
SkanIt Software lets the user follow the measurement in real time on the screen. For endpoint measurements in 96- and 384 well plates, the measured value is shown for each well as it is measured. Additionally, real-time spectral scanning and kinetic curves can be followed on the screen during the progress of the measurement.
Effortless data reduction with built-in calculations
Data reduction in SkanIt Software is effortless due to the intuitive data reduction steplist. The user can select from a comprehensive set of built-in calculations: Blank Subtraction, Multipoint, Curve Fit, Cut-Off, Kinetic Processors for reduction of kinetic data, Spectral Reduction, Ratio/Inhibition, Effective Dose and Quality Control. Additionally, custom-made calculations can be made with the User Equation calculator.
Comprehensive reports and easy export of data
Data can easily be exported either manually or automatically for use in other systems like Microsoft Excel. Extensive reports can also be created using the Report generator.
Integration with automated systems
SkanIt Software offers a special remote control interface for easy integration with LIMS and automated systems.
