As their name implies, ultraviolet visible spectrophotometers (often referred to as a UV Vis spectrophotometer or just a UV spectrophotometer) quantify the optical properties of samples in the ultraviolet and visible wavelength ranges of light (typically 190 to 900/1100 nm). Specifically, UV visible spectroscopy determines how much light of a given wavelength passes through a sample, and how much is absorbed. Such information can be diagnostic of molecular identity, concentration, structure, or activity, whether of organic species such as porphyrins, benzenes, and napthalenes, or of biomolecules like nucleic acids and proteins. Spectrophotometers can scan either fixed (i.e., predefined) or variable wavelengths, and come in both single- and double-beam configurations.

Multiskan Sky Microplate Spectrophotometer is a UV/Vis microplate reader designed to be convenient and easy to use for virtually any photometric research application, especially DNA, RNA and protein analysis. This absorbance reader is ideal for multi-user environments where a variety of endpoint, kinetic and spectral assays are performed. Multiskan Sky spectrophotometers are available in three different configurations. Touchscreen models offer the flexibility to use the system as stand-alone or in conjunction with Thermo Scientific SkanIt PC software. Touchscreen models also offer option to access to Thermo Fisher Connect clould-based tools. The Multiskan Sky microplate spectrophotometer 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.
