Schott A08031.40 Single Flexible Fiber Optic Light Guide 40" Length, 8mm Diameter

The Schott A08031.40 Single Flexible Light Guide is a fiber optic illumination accessory designed for efficient light transmission in laboratory and biotechnological environments. It features a 40-inch flexible fiber optic cable with a core diameter of 0.30 inches (8 mm), enabling precise and adaptable routing within complex instrumentation setups.

Key technical attributes include:

• Tight bending radius allowing versatile installation and easy routing in constrained spaces, critical for applications such as live-cell imaging and fluorescence microscopy.
• Standard output ferrules compatible with spot lenses and polarizing caps, facilitating integration with optical systems used in molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology research.
• Standard input fitting Dichroic color filters, diffusers, and ColdVision Series light sources, making it adaptable for varied spectral illumination needs important in bioprocessing and biomanufacturing workflows.
• Durable construction featuring a black anodized aluminum bundle input and PVC-covered metal tubing sheathing, ensuring mechanical protection and longevity in lab environments.

This light guide is widely used in laboratory setups that demand precise and consistent light delivery, essential for biomedical engineering, cell imaging analysis, and optical instrumentation. Its compatibility with cold light sources minimizes heat introduction, thereby preserving temperature-sensitive samples common in molecular cloning workflows.
