Fiber optic light source Schott A20500 delivering precise, versatile illumination for biomedical and industrial research applications.
The Schott A20500 Fiber Optic Light Source is a specialized illumination system designed for precise and stable light delivery in research and clinical settings. Manufactured in the United States, this device weighs approximately 12 lbs (6.53 kg) and measures 13.0" x 10.0" x 8.0", offering a compact footprint suitable for benchtop or integrated instrumentation setups.
This fiber optic light source is critical in biotechnology workflows such as molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing illumination, and synthetic biology research where uniform and controllable light output enhances imaging accuracy and assay reproducibility. The A20500 model supports applications requiring consistent illumination intensity, a key factor in live-cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
Its harmonized code classification (901380) places it among specialized optical instruments, emphasizing its role in optical systems for neuroscience, clinical diagnostics, and cell imaging research.
Ideal for laboratories focused on biomanufacturing environments and gene editing workflow optimization, the Schott A20500 provides essential illumination tailored to advanced scientific research and quality assurance protocols.
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.
Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that 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.
