StoreX Series
             
The STX-Series is the most widely used and the most complete solution for controlled environmental automated storages in laboratory automation. The STX incubators use a unique design that copes with extremely frequent accesses while maintaining ultra stable conditions inside the climate controlled chamber. Plates are accessed through a small automatically controlled door (Gate) that opens during access only, thus minimizing gas exchange. As common interface between the incubator and the robotic environment a transfer-station is located in front of the Gate. Full manual access is possible through a large user door and removable cassettes (Stackers), which allows the user to access and load products.

The STX-Series robotic handling is completely located inside the incubation chamber. The handling allows full random access on all plates.
    LiCONiC is the first to implement a shovel based handling system, which transport plates by loading them on an extendable surface (shovel). 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. This handling accepts most plate types without modification, teaching, or adaptation. Even simultaneous use of various plate types is possible. The STX series includes five different size models that cover the range of 44 to over 1000 MTP plate capacity. Temperatures range from -20'C to +70'C. Both, high and low humidity versions are available. All units allow full remote operation. The Stand-Alone or BenchTop configurations make the STX-Incubators ideal for integration in small, mid-size, and large laboratory automation lines.
