Product description

High-intensity modular LED fluorescence light source with rapid wavelength switching for advanced live-cell imaging.

The X-Cite XLED1 is a professional-grade, high-power LED fluorescence light source tailored for fluorescence microscopy applications including biotechnology, cell imaging, and molecular diagnostics. This modular illumination system supports up to four interchangeable LED excitation modules, delivering customized excitation wavelengths that are essential for multicolor fluorescence workflows widely adopted in synthetic biology research.

Key technical features include:

  • Modular LED design enabling seamless swapping of LED modules to match specific fluorophore panels, making it critical for evolving bioprocessing and gene editing experiments.
  • Rapid wavelength switching capability with USB-controlled switching times under 1 ms and TTL-triggered switching at or below 10 µs, facilitating high-speed multicolor imaging during dynamic cellular processes such as live-cell imaging and ratio fluorescence analysis.
  • Integration with a liquid light guide and microscope adapter ensures uniform field illumination without complex alignment, optimizing sample excitation in biomedical engineering and clinical diagnostics workflows.
  • Extensive control options including USB, TTL trigger, and sync out support both manual and automated imaging setups, accommodating diverse research demands from basic fluorescence to time-lapse and high-speed switching applications.
  • The high-power LED modules provide stable, bright excitation with reduced maintenance compared to traditional lamp-based systems, benefiting long-term biomanufacturing and molecular cloning workflows.

This fluorescence light source is widely used in neuroscience, cell biology, and biomedical research facilities where precision, flexibility, and fast excitation modulation are required for complex fluorescence microscopy studies. Its modular and technologically advanced design makes it a foundational tool in advanced fluorescence imaging and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.

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.
