Product description

The SCHOTT A08020.40 Single Flexible Light Guide is engineered for precise light transmission in laboratory and biotechnology settings requiring controlled illumination. Featuring a 0.20" (5 mm) active input fiber diameter and a 40" (1524 mm) flexible bundle length, this fiber optic light guide enables efficient coupling of light to microscopes, fluorescence analyzers, and bioprocess instrumentation.

Key specifications include:

  • Tubing Diameter: 0.39" (10 mm) with PVC-covered metal sheathing for durability and flexibility with a tight bending radius for easy routing in confined lab equipment configurations.
  • Distal Ferrule Diameter: 0.393" (10 mm) compatible with standard output ferrules accepting spot lenses and polarizing caps.
  • Input Interface: Designed to easily integrate with Dichroic color filters, diffusers, and ColdVision Series light sources, supporting advanced fluorescence analysis and live-cell imaging workflows.
  • Material Construction: Black anodized aluminum bundle input housing ensures mechanical stability critical for repeatable molecular diagnostics and biomanufacturing illumination setups.

This flexible light guide is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and essential for molecular cloning workflows requiring reliable, uniform illumination. Its tight bending radius and robust construction make it suitable for integration within bioprocessing instruments, biomedical engineering apparatus, and clinical diagnostics systems.

Applications include:

  • Fluorescence microscopy light delivery
  • Live-cell imaging illumination
  • Biotechnology instrumentation requiring precise light control
  • Molecular diagnostics optical pathways
  • Biomedical engineering visual inspection systems

By enabling efficient light delivery with high transmission fidelity, the SCHOTT A08020.40 supports critical biopharmaceutical production pipelines and neuroimaging applications requiring stable and consistent illumination sources.

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.
