When light strikes matter, one of three outcomes will occur: It will be absorbed, reflected or transmitted. Ultraviolet or UV spectrophotometry is a type of absorption spectroscopy which is used to measure the absorbance of light across the ultraviolet ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. UV spectrophotometers are relied upon in numerous disciplines including analytical chemistry, forensics, DNA and RNA-related work, pharmaceuticals, biology, environmental sciences and more.
Before choosing a spectrophotometer, however, purchasers should consider three aspects: range of the detection wavelength, working absorbance range, and measurement time. Other considerations include lab requirements and total costs.

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.
