Product description

Dual gooseneck fiber-optic light guide with adjustable chrome-plated arms for precise, shadow-free lab illumination.

The Schott Dual Gooseneck Fiber-Optic Light Guide A08500 is engineered for precise and adjustable illumination in laboratory environments, critical in applications such as biotechnology research, molecular diagnostics, and biomedical engineering. Featuring two chrome-plated semi-obedient metal or black carbon semi-rigid gooseneck tubing arms, this 18-inch light guide enables accurate control of light placement to minimize shadows during delicate procedures like live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis.

Key technical features include:

  • Dual gooseneck legs positioned oppositely to create near shadow-free workspace illumination.
  • Standard output ferrules compatible with various spot lenses and polarizing caps, facilitating customized light beam adjustments essential in gene editing workflows and synthetic biology experiments.
  • Durable chrome-plated or carbon materials provide robustness for frequent repositioning and ergonomic use.
  • The dual design allows a single light source to efficiently illuminate the workspace from two angles, enhancing visibility in critical biotech workflows such as molecular cloning and biomanufacturing stages.
  • Additional models like the A08575 offer permanently attached spot lenses with manual focus adjustment via knurled barrels, useful in precision-focused applications.
  • Custom and modified configurations are available to meet specific laboratory requirements.

Ideal for researchers and laboratory personnel engaged in advanced cellular imaging, clinical diagnostics, and bioprocessing, the Schott Dual Gooseneck Fiber-Optic Light Guide supports high-precision illumination demands typical in modern biotechnology and biomedical research labs.

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.
