By introducing the first automated incubator, LiCONiC created a new standard in the HTS industry in the early 1990’s. The exclusive focus on technology and quality has kept us the leader in the scientific industry with more innovation and trend-setting solutions. Only LiCONiC Automated Incubators are consequently
based on a concept that matches the challenges of handling automation with needs of climates at their extremes. Driven by customer satisfaction and application excellence, LiCONiC continues to create novel solutions made for the ever changing scientific community and to match the market’s growing needs.

Automated Incubators
Series and Product Overview
StoreX SeriesFlexibility, stability, and reliability are the hallmark of the StoreX Series of automated incubators. LiCONiC’s proprietary technology delivers a robust system for frequent access and optimum environmental control using a variety of labware. MTP, DWP, culture flasks, petri dish, and bioreactor tube options can all be accommodated as part of a standard solution range.
STR SeriesThe STR space saving incubators are designed to be used where space restrictions need to be met with under bench position of incubator. With the “Star” design the robotic delivery system is located at the center of the incubator passing the labware through the top of the chamber, saving space and minimizing cycle times.
Special Incubators Custom applications are a particular strength at LiCONiC. We have a wealth of experience in delivering custom solutions covering a wide temperature range from –196°C to +200°C. Special solutions for humid or dry climates, gaseous variations, and specific combinations can also be accommodated.
Incubator Shaking OptionIncubators with linear or orbital shaking options are available with a number of capacity options. The removable cassette design delivers a high degree of flexibility with the markets smallest footprint. Speed and amplitude options make the LiCONiC range of shaking incubators suitable for almost any application and various labware including bioreactor tubes and flasks.
