Essential Overview

Automated Cell Culture Incubator add remove

Optimize Cell Growth

SteriStore provides a consistent, stable environment across all plate surfaces anywhere in the device. It does so by using ultrasonic misters for humidity control along with high-capacity heaters and gentle rotation. Fast opening, dual-automation doors and a proven aerogel insulation in this powerful automated cell culture incubator foster an ideal culture environment over the life cycle of your science.

Multi-Purpose Laboratory Incubator add remove

One Tools to Suit Multiple Evolving Needs

Unlike other incubators that are configured to support a narrow environment, SteriStore offers a wide 4 ºC to 100 ºC temperature range to boost flexibility and save precious lab space as a multi-purpose automated lab incubator. For example, use the SteriStore to store samples at 4 ºC, incubate cells at 37 ºC, or heat DNA at 70 ºC; all with standard CO₂, O₂, and N₂ regulation to maximize your sample's environmental control.

FAQs

What is aerogel insulation? add remove

Aerogel, also known as frozen smoke, is comprised of air pores trapped in a dendritic microstructure. It is highly effective at blocking heat transfer.

What’s the difference between SteriStore D and M models? add remove

The SteriStore M has about twice the capacity of the SteriStore D. Both can accept an array of consumables such as 96-, 384-, and 1536-well plates, and deep-well plates.

How much water does the SteriStore hold for humidity? add remove

The total water capacity for SteriStore’s humidity reservoir differs based on model. The SteriStore D holds a maximum of 5.5 L water, while the SteriStore M holds a maximum of 8.0 L water. Use only distilled water to avoid potential damage and contamination.

Is SteriStore compatible with MicroDock for mobility? add remove

Yes! SteriStore may be installed on an enabled cart from HighRes Biosolutions that easily yet securely docks onto the MicroDock for mobility and use in multiple larger lab systems. There’s no need to reteach positions or reconnect power, communications, or gas connections.

Can stackers be exchanged between storage devices? add remove

Yes, all stackers can be easily exchanged within any other SteriStore, AmbiStore, or TundraStore device.
