The STR44 is the smallest member of the STR family. The STR44 has the same width as the STX44 and the same depth as the STX220. Its 44 MTP capacity make it perfectly suitable of small-scale integration, highly miniaturized applications or short time incubation assays.
You can use the cassettes for standard plates or the other plate sizes or - if needed - mixing up to two configurations. Throughput can be increased by using two transfer-station positions on the deck. The STR44's compact size makes it ideal for applications with room constraints.
The STR44 is ideal for protein crystallization work because the stationary cassettes with the Star concept allowing the periscope the only moving part, reducing vibration and movement of the samples. While allowing full remote access on handling and climate functions, you still are able to manually access the cassettes and samples through the large front door for loading and unloading your product.
The STR44 supports a wide temperature and humidity range. Namely the STR44 is available as IC (Incubation), HC (high humidity cold storage), DC (dry, low humidity cold storage, HR (high humidity wide temperature range incubator) and DR (dry, low humidity wide temperature range storage).
Where low vibration is needed the climate part of the unit can be separated form the incubation chamber. Mechanical dimensions of all STR44s are identical and independent of any Climate Options.
Like all members of the StoreX Star family the STR 44 can be equipped with a large number of options and a wide selection of useful accessories. For details please refer to Options or Accessories.
