Product description

Preowned GLG3078 laser head unit, designed for DNA sequencers, powers on, vital for molecular diagnostics and gene sequencing.

The Showa Optronics Co. GLG3078 is a laser head unit specifically engineered for integration into DNA sequencers, delivering precise and stable laser output essential for advanced molecular diagnostics, gene editing, and DNA sequencing workflows. Manufactured in April 2008 in Japan, this preowned unit powers on and shows basic operational capability, although full functional testing requires integration with complementary sequencer components.

Key technical specifications and features include:

  • Equipment Type: Optical laser head module optimized for fluorescence excitation in DNA sequencing applications.
  • Condition: Good preowned state with normal cosmetic wear, weighing approximately 7.62 kg (16.8 lbs).
  • Compatibility: Designed as a critical component for DNA sequencers utilized in clinical diagnostics, biotechnology research, and biomanufacturing pipelines.
  • Dimensions: Shipping size approximately 55 cm x 27.4 cm x 24.4 cm, facilitating installation in benchtop or integrated sequencer platforms.
  • Application Fields: Widely adopted in synthetic biology and molecular biology labs requiring precise laser excitation for bioprocessing and molecular cloning workflows.

This laser head unit is essential for researchers and laboratory engineers specializing in biotechnology instrumentation, particularly those involved in molecular diagnostics, live-cell imaging, and fluorescence-based DNA analysis. The GLG3078 facilitates critical laser functions that drive high-throughput sequencing accuracy in biopharmaceutical production and clinical genetics research.

Please note, this unit is sold without additional cables, power supplies, or computer interfaces, and integration requires compatible sequencer hardware to enable full functionality and performance testing.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
