Product description

Advanced Showa GLG3078 laser unit (2014) designed for DNA sequencing, essential in molecular biology workflows.

The Showa GLG3078 Laser Head Unit is a precision-engineered component designed specifically for DNA sequencing applications and molecular biology research. Manufactured in Japan in 2014, this unit incorporates advanced laser technology critical to molecular diagnostics and gene sequencing workflows.

Key technical features include:

  • Compatibility with DNA sequencing apparatus as an essential laser-based fluorescence excitation source
  • Weighing 7.62 kg (16.8 lbs), suitable for benchtop integration within laboratory equipment
  • Operational status verified by power-on and passed basic functionality tests
  • Absence of included power or data cables and software; requires integration with existing systems
  • Durable construction with minor cosmetic wear consistent with prior use

This laser head unit is widely applicable and highly valued in biotechnology laboratories, particularly those engaged in synthetic biology, gene editing, and biomanufacturing pipelines where precise fluorescence excitation is critical. It supports high-sensitivity detection methods vital for molecular cloning workflows and biomedical engineering research.

The product's classification under harmonized code 901320 underscores its function as a non-laser diode laser essential in DNA sequencing instruments. It is a key component in advanced sequencing technologies, widely used by researchers and clinicians specializing in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing.

Overall, the Showa GLG3078 laser head is a critical asset for laboratories requiring reliable, high-performance laser technology in the biotechnology and life sciences sectors.

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?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that 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.
