Ritter bringing latest multi-well plates to analytica 2016

Schwabmünchen, Germany: – Ritter Medical, the German-based manufacturer of sterile and technically advanced plastics for medical and research use, will exhibit its latest multi-well plates at the upcoming analytica 2016 international trade fair in Munich.

Ritter Medical will appear as an exhibitor in its own right at Messe München at Booth 114 in Pavilion B1, where the centerpieces of its display will be the new Riplate® 96 PP microtiter plate.

The PP variant is a U-shaped well version of the versatile Riplate® 96, which is optimized for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) applications with intermediate wells to minimize cross contamination and a highly transparent form to provide an optimal surface for microscopic analysis. The plates are precision cleanroom manufacture from high-purity polypropylene to ensure long-term reproducibility for filtration of proteins as well as DNA extraction over extended series.

Ritter also manufactures ultra-sterile versions of the existing Riplate® product family.

Magnetic separation

The Ritter stand at analytica will also feature the recently introduced Riplate® magnetic designed for cleaning, mixing or centrifugation of samples in KingFisher™ magnetic particle processors.

Riplate® magnetic can also be used for the storage and preparation of substances. Its magnetic separation technology, based on magnetic particles, allows fast and efficient sample preparation with high throughput.

Newly developed cylindrical wells enable a good bioturbation of samples while raised rims reduce risk of cross contamination. Other advantages include high solvent and chemical resistance, with high stability during centrifugation.

Alphanumeric identification

Both new plates are cleanroom manufactured from high-purity polypropylene to Society for Biomolecular Screening standards with standardized SBS format dimensions of 128 x 85 mm to ensure compatibility across a wide range of popular laboratory liquid handling robots. They also feature alphanumeric coding of individual wells to allow each sample to be uniquely assigned and identified.

“Riplate® 96 and Riplate® magnetic are the perfect storage and analysis plates for today’s highly automated laboratories,” said Ritter Medical’s Sales Division Manager, Mr. Michael Fuchs, who will lead the company’s presence at analytica 2016. Also on stand at different times during the four-day event will be CEO Frank Ritter, CFO Ralf Ritter, Assistant to CEO Johannes von Stauffenberg, the Key Account Managers Andreas Rauch and Melanie Wendel, Quality Manager Mrs. Kerstin Lenke and Inside Sales Manager Elvira Schepp.
