主要優勢

易於使用的微量盤分析儀軟體

邏輯式的軟體架構可減少對於培訓的需求,且能夠輕鬆地建立能適應不同實驗條件的新操作流程。合併數據的能力有助於各種分析類型,並改善圖表上的數據可視化。此外,可輕鬆取得文件則讓使用者能將文件保存在任何地方-桌面、網絡磁碟機、USB、雲端存儲等,在SkanIt軟體中“打開(Open)”的直觀搜索功能對於文件處理也相當便利。

有助於預防錯誤

SkanIt軟體透過各種措施來幫助預防錯誤。重新命名實驗的提示可防止數據混淆/遺失,且除非使用者有意刪除文件,已執行的檢測數據永遠不會消失(讓您在設計您的實驗時可以簡單地嘗試不同的步驟並在軟體中“播放”)。特殊的藥物開發版本使用數據庫來確保檢測數據的安全性,並具有符合FDA 21 CFR第11部分的法規標準,例如數位簽名、使用者登錄使用 Windows身份驗證以及完整的審計追蹤。

有助於提升實驗產能

SkanIt軟體透過其快速處理速度以及可於實驗室主電腦外的電腦分析數據的能力來幫助提升實驗產能。此軟體擁有免版稅許可(royalty-free license)的軟體、易於取得的數據、適用於許多常見實驗流程的廣泛分析工具以及可自動將數據加載到自定義 Microsoft Excel模板中的能力。


功能

Session management

SkanIt Software Research Edition saves data into program-specific files with the file extension .skax, which is automatically recognized by the Windows operating system. This makes opening of data files very fast and easy. Just double-click a .skax file in any folder to immediately launch SkanIt Software and open the data.

Virtual pipetting tool

This intuitive visual tool lets you quickly enter sample information in a manner that resembles reagent pipetting, making it easy to define the plate layout.

Measurement protocol

The measurement protocol setup is easy. Simply add the instrument actions to the session tree in the order they will be performed. The software offers flexible features for assays of different complexities.

Results display

Measurement data are continuously saved during the run, to help ensure that data are not lost due to unexpected interruptions such as power outages. The software has a clear display where data are shown in convenient result numbers, kinetic curves, spectral graphs, and 3D graphs. The software brings additional integrity to your research by saving important information with traceability. Temperatures, time stamps of actions, errors, and warnings are just a few of the prompts you will receive. With the optional integrated gas module, the log will also report the CO₂ and O₂ concentrations.

 

Data processing tools

Easily analyze your data directly in SkanIt Software. Select from a variety of data processing tools:

  • Average, SD, and %CV from sample replicates 
  • Curve fitting for typical biological responses, including parallel line analysis, enzyme kinetics (Km and Vmax), Z-factor, and many more 
  • Back-calculation of samples and standards for QC or assay verification using curve fitting
  • Classification for dividing samples into categories 
  • Normalization of data to your selected reference sample (e.g., for calculation of cell viability percentages) 
  • Calculations for reduction of kinetic or spectral data 
  • Merging multiple measurements into a single kinetic data set for better data analysis 
  • Advanced calculation tool for creating custom formulas

SkanIt Cloud Library

The SkanIt Cloud Library is a collection of verified sessions that anyone can use as examples, training materials, or templates to create assay protocols. The SkanIt Cloud Library sessions all have complete calculation protocols, with real assay data using samples and reagents. With the easy-to-use search feature, you can enter any keyword to find the protocol you need.

 

Exporting results 

SkanIt Software presents easily accessible, comprehensive reports of both measured and calculated data. Users can also select the way the data are organized and sorted—export the results report in .xlsx, .pdf, .xml, or .txt file format. Additionally, using the “auto loading” feature, you can load measurement data automatically into a predefined Excel file for further calculations.
