Ritter Riplate RW Microplate Deep Well 1 ml U Bottom Polystyrene 15 Plates

Ritter Riplate® 96-Well Deepwell Storage Plate – 1.0 mL Well Capacity, Crystal Clear Polystyrene, Round U-Bottom, Numeric Grid Index, Non-Sterile (MPN: 43001-0010)

The Ritter Medical 43001-0010 (also cataloged under global distribution networks as 43001-0010 / 430010010) is a premium, laboratory-grade 96-well deepwell microplate engineered for high-throughput sample storage, diagnostic screening, optical analysis, and daily liquid handling routines. Precision-molded from ultra-pure, crystal-clear virgin polystyrene, each well features a nominal working capacity of 1.0 mL and a rounded U-bottom geometry. Unlike translucent polypropylene alternatives, the polystyrene construction delivers glass-like optical clarity, making this plate highly optimized for top- or bottom-reading colorimetric tracking and visual inspection of cell pellets or precipitates. Designed with raised well rims to promote secure film sealing and incorporating an alpha-numeric grid tracking matrix, this rigid deepwell plate functions flawlessly across automated high-throughput architectures.

Technical Performance and Structural Design

• Glass-Like Polystyrene Optical Clarity: Molded strictly from high-transmission virgin polystyrene resin. This chemistry provides exceptional optical transparency across visible light wavelengths, allowing automated imaging systems or human eyes to evaluate sample color changes, clarity, and particle sedimentation borders effortlessly.

• Efficient Round U-Bottom Geometry: Engineered with smooth, curved round well bottoms (U-bottom). This seamless configuration prevents sample hang-ups in corners, ensures complete liquid displacement during aspiration steps, and supports uniform pellet concentration during low-speed centrifugation sweeps.

• Raised Rims for Evaporation Defense: Every well orifice is bordered by a uniformly raised rim profile. This architecture acts as a structural compression wall when applying adhesive films, thermal foils, or cap mats, providing an exceptional seal that completely bars cross-well contamination and sample evaporation.

• Permanent Alphanumeric Grid Mapping: Features a bold, high-contrast molded alphanumeric locator grid tracking matrix along the well borders. Combined with a dedicated physical corner notch, this layout forces fast, mistake-free manual orientation and rapid coordinate mapping.

Key Benefits and Applications

• High-Throughput Optical Colorimetric Screens: The premier plate template choice for running large-scale endpoint dilution color tracking, compound solubility checks, and general spectrophotometric assay evaluations where transparent well walls are essential.

• Robotic Liquid Handling Compatibility: Extremely rigid structural tolerances prevent plate flexing or twisting under heavy physical clamp strain, ensuring smooth handoffs with automated fluid handling decks, stacker cassettes, and gripper tracks.

• Flocculation and Pellet Inspection: The high-clarity clear barrel walls combined with the rounded U-base allow technicians to instantly confirm cellular agglutination patterns, precipitate collections, or bead pellets without removing fluid layers.

• Organized Serial Dilution Repositories: Serves as an excellent, high-density intermediate dilution template box for holding intermediate chemical libraries, stock buffers, and color-indicators ready for automated multi-channel routing.
