Liconic STR44

LiCONiC STR44
Manufacturer: LiCONiC
Model: STR Series

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. 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. 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).
