Showa Optronics GLG3078 Laser Module for DNA Sequencer (2013, Preowned)

The Showa Optronics GLG3078 is a precision laser module specifically designed as a critical optical component for DNA sequencers, widely adopted in molecular biology and biotechnological workflows such as gene editing and molecular diagnostics. Manufactured in Japan (December 2013), this preowned laser head unit measures 45.7 cm x 22.9 cm x 20.3 cm and weighs 7.62 kg (16.8 lbs).

• Designed to provide stable and accurate laser emissions essential for DNA sequencing applications.
• Tested to power on and perform basic functions; full operational verification requires additional complementary hardware not included (e.g., power/data cables, computer interface, software).
• Cosmetic wear typical of used scientific equipment; functional integrity maintained for integration into sequencing systems.
• Lacks accompanying service records and user documentation; buyers must ensure compatibility with existing bioprocessing setups.
• Harmonized Code 90132000: classified under lasers other than laser diodes, appropriate for bioanalytical instrumentation.

This laser module supports high-precision fluorescence excitation in sequencing instruments and is critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and synthetic biology research where reliable laser performance underpins experimental fidelity. It is an essential part of molecular cloning workflows and advanced biomedical engineering projects involving live sample analysis.
