STF Series

	The STF-Series is the first incubator for flasks of its kind. The STF incubators use a unique design that copes with extremely frequent accesses while maintaining ultra stable conditions inside the climate controlled chamber. The flasks are accessed through a small automatically controlled door (Gate) that opens during access only, thereby minimizing gas exchange. As the common interface of the incubator and the robotic environment a transfer- station is located in front of the Gate. Full manual access is maintained by a large user door and removable cassettes (Stackers), which allows the user to access and load products. Completely remote operation of handling and climate is supported. The handling allows full random access on all plates. The STF uses the LiCONiC's shovel based handling system, which transports a flask by loading it on an extendable surface (shovel) during transport.	The STX-Series robotic handling is completely located inside the incubation chamber. The handling consists of a turntable that holds the removable stackers and a transport lift mechanism that transports a single plate between any stacker location and the external transfer station. By using our slide station, flasks can be transferred directly into a viewing station preserving the environmental conditions needed for accurate testing. The delivery gate can be on the rear, right or left center. This allows the unit to be positioned in the desired location. Multiple gates are also possible. The STF series features LiCONiC's new Flush Gate that simplifies integration by avoiding any obstacle in the Gate area. Like all members of the StoreX family the STF can be equipped with numerous types of options and a wide selection of useful accessories. For details please refer to Options or Accessories.
