Buffalo, New York, USA and Uppsala, Sweden (September 12, 2013)— The development of drugs and the deciphering of biological processes will be made easier when data from Reichert Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) systems manufactured in the US are evaluated with Swedish software. The SPR systems SR7500DC and SR7000DC from Reichert Technologies Life Sciences will be combined with the advanced molecular interaction analysis software TraceDrawer from Ridgeview Instruments AB, enabling efficient and costeffective analysis of how molecules interact. The need for understanding how molecules bind to each other is critical in the development of drugs and therapeutic antibodies.Thomas E. Ryan, Chief Scientist of Reichert Technologies Life Sciences said: “TraceDrawer brings a new level of sophistication to Reichert Technologies Surface Plasmon Resonance Systems. Data analysis and reporting is now seamlessly integrated into Reichert’s “Autolink” instrument operation and data collection software. The software features excellent data fitting algorithms, numerous kinetic models, and the capability to combine data sets from many experiments or surfaces and numerous reporting options. Our partners at Ridgeview Instruments have created a world class data analysis package.”
Dr. Karl Andersson, CEO of Ridgeview Instruments AB said: “We are pleased to see that TraceDrawer, our multi-purpose evaluation platform for advanced molecular interaction analysis, is implemented in Reichert Technologies Life Sciences SPR systems. I am convinced that TraceDrawer will make the customers of Reichert Technologies more productive through better understanding of their molecules leading to faster decisions. For Ridgeview Instruments AB, this collaboration is yet another proof that the open innovation philosophy of TraceDrawer is a winning concept that brings significant value both to instrument vendors and the scientific community on a global scale.”
