High-stability 120W mercury vapor illuminator with Intelli-Lamp tech for uniform wide-field fluorescence excitation.
The Exfo X-Cite 120Q fluorescence lamp illuminator features a proprietary 120 W mercury vapor short arc lamp engineered to deliver uniform, rich spectral excitation essential for wide-field fluorescence microscopy applications. Equipped with advanced Intelli-Lamp technology, it maintains optimal lamp temperature, ensuring consistent performance and extending lamp life to over 2000 hours (guaranteed), with typical operation reaching 2500 hours.
Key specifications include:
Widely adopted in fluorescence imaging, this illuminator is ideal for biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and biomedical research, supporting precise excitation essential for live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis. Its robust design and reliable output make it a vital tool for gene editing studies, synthetic biology experiments, and bioprocessing workflows that demand stable and reproducible fluorescence excitation.
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.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
