The STC12k5-ULT is based on the new Liconic trolley design. The STC12k5-ULT Store has capacity of more than one Million samples. The high capacity STC12k5-ULT has an extremely compact footprint and can easily be installed into small laboratories. It utilises the Liconic chest freezer principle which provides excellent energy efficiency and climate homogeneity. The STC12k5 is by far the market's most efficient -80°C store.

The STC12k5-ULT store incorporates an interface unit that holds an IO-Buffer and the tube selection device. Samples can be loaded either manually into the IO-Buffer or through an integrated liquid handling platform. In all cases samples pass through the interface unit and are then transferred into the -80°C storage chamber. This ensures maximum climate stability of the long-term storage compartment.

The user friendly software incorporates an intuitive and extremely simple to use operator interface. The system is connected to the network and may therefore be accessed remotely.
