Product description

Preowned GLG3078 laser module by Showa Optronics, designed for integration with DNA sequencers, tested for basic operation.

The Showa Optronics GLG3078 is a precision laser head unit specifically designed for integration within DNA sequencer systems, essential in molecular diagnostics and biotechnological research applications such as gene sequencing and synthetic biology workflows. Manufactured in Japan in December 2012, this laser module supports critical optical functions within sequencing apparatus, facilitating reliable fluorescence detection and data acquisition in molecular cloning workflows.

Key technical specifications include:

  • Model: GLG3078
  • Manufacturer: Showa Optronics Co., Japan
  • Condition: Preowned, tested for basic operation; cosmetic wear visible but in good physical integrity
  • Dimensions: 18.0 x 9.0 x 8.0 inches (45.7 x 22.9 x 20.3 cm)
  • Weight: Approx. 14.0 lbs (6.4 kg)
  • Includes: Laser head unit only; excludes power/data cables, computer, and software necessary for full operation
  • Application: Widely used in DNA sequencing platforms integral to gene editing, molecular diagnostics, and biomanufacturing processes

This laser module requires additional system components for full operational deployment within DNA sequencers, making it a specialized replacement part for laboratories emphasizing bioprocessing and advanced biotechnology research. The unit’s reliability in fluorescence analysis enhances data fidelity in nucleotide sequencing, supporting diverse research fields including clinical diagnostics and synthetic biology.

Leveraging the harmonized tariff code 901320, this equipment falls under lasers used in sophisticated optical apparatus, underscoring its specialized role. This unit is suitable for researchers and lab technicians engaged in developing or maintaining DNA sequencing hardware, enabling continued performance in critical biotechnological instrumentation.

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.
