Powerful operation and data analysis
SkanIt Software offers a comprehensive selection of built-in calculations, including blank subtraction, standard curves, and concentration/dose-response curve fitting, classification, quality control, and kinetic and spectral analysis. SkanIt Software is an open-license platform that authorizes unlimited installation privileges. You can create measurement sessions and analyze results on your computer inside or outside of the lab. The software is available in nine languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Japanese, and Chinese.

Modern and intuitive user interface
A user-friendly session structure simplifies the measurement setup. The Virtual Pipetting Tool lets you quickly enter the plate sample information in a manner that resembles reagent pipetting in the laboratory, making it easy to visualize and define the plate layout. Data is easily exported from SkanIt Software: with a single mouse click, your data is available in Microsoft™ Excel™ for further analysis.

SkanIt cloud library
The built-in SkanIt cloud library provides an extensive collection of ready-made measurement sessions for various applications and measurement technologies. You can use these sessions as a template for your own assays or use them without modification for a quick start.
