Product description

Precision laser head unit Showa GLG3078 for DNA sequencing, essential in molecular biology and genomic research workflows.

The Showa GLG3078 SOC Laser Head Unit, manufactured by Showa Optronics Co. in Japan, is a precision optical component designed for DNA sequencing in molecular biology and genomic research laboratories. This laser head, produced in 2014, supports high-throughput sequencing environments requiring reliable and accurate laser-based excitation for fluorescence detection.

Key technical specifications include:

  • Model: GLG3078 SOC
  • Serial Number: 31904
  • Weight: 6.35 kg (14.0 lb)
  • Dimensions: 45.7 x 22.9 x 20.3 cm (18 x 9 x 8 in)
  • Condition: Preowned, good physical state with basic functionality confirmed via power-on test
  • Origin: Japan

This laser head unit is critical for molecular diagnostics, biotechnology, and bioprocessing workflows, supporting synthetic biology and gene editing research that rely on precise optical interrogation of nucleic acids. It operates as an essential part of laser-based DNA sequencing systems, enabling highly sensitive and efficient signal generation during sequencing runs.

Please note that power/data cables, computers, and sequencing software are not included. The unit comes housed in a protective case suitable for transport and storage.

This equipment is widely adopted in cutting-edge molecular biology laboratories, enhancing accuracy in molecular cloning workflows and biopharmaceutical production pipelines focusing on genome analysis. Its classification under harmonized code 9013200000 confirms its role as an advanced laser device tailored for life science research equipment.

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.
