Product description

The SOC Showa Optronics GLG3078 Laser Head Unit is a precision laser source designed specifically for DNA sequencing instruments used in genetic analysis and molecular diagnostics. Manufactured in Japan in December 2006, this pre-owned laser head powers on and passes basic operational tests, ensuring reliable performance in sequencing workflows.

Key technical features include:

  • Model: GLG3078
  • Type: Laser head unit optimized for DNA sequencers and molecular biology instruments
  • Weight: Approximately 6.4 kg (14 lb)
  • Dimensions: 46 cm x 23 cm x 20 cm (18 in x 9 in x 8 in)
  • Country of origin: Japan

This laser head unit is essential for high-precision optical excitation in sequencing platforms, supporting critical applications in biotechnology fields including molecular cloning, synthetic biology, and molecular diagnostics. Its robust design makes it suitable for continuous use in bioprocessing and gene editing workflows requiring consistent laser output.

Please note, this unit is sold as-is without power or data cables, software, or additional accessories. Minimal cosmetic wear is present but does not affect functional performance. This component is widely used in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and laboratories focusing on genetic analysis and fluorescence-based sequencing technologies.

The device falls under the harmonized code 90132000, classifying it as a laser other than laser diodes, underscoring its application as a specialized laser source in sequencing instrumentation.

This upgrade or replacement component is recommended for research facilities and biotechnology companies aiming to maintain high operational standards in DNA sequencing and molecular diagnostics equipment maintenance.

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.
