Product description

Single flexible light guide with 0.51" fiber diameter, 40" length, compatible with dichroic filters and ColdVision sources.

The SCHOTT A08051.40 Single Flexible Light Guide is engineered for precision light delivery in advanced laboratory applications including biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and biomedical engineering. This fiber optic light guide features:

  • Active input fiber diameter: 0.51" (13 mm) optimized for efficient light transmission
  • Distal ferrule diameter: 0.625" (16 mm) designed for compatibility with standard output ferrules accommodating spot lenses and polarizing caps
  • Tubing diameter: 0.75" (19 mm) with a PVC-covered metal tubing sheath ensuring durability and protection
  • Bundle length: 40" (1016 mm) with a tight bending radius, facilitating easy routing in confined laboratory setups
  • Input bundle housing: Black anodized aluminum enhances structural integrity and thermal performance

This flexible light guide supports modular integration with dichroic color filters, diffusers, and ColdVision Series light sources, making it widely used in fluorescence analysis and live-cell imaging workflows. Its robust construction and versatility make it critical in biotechnology laboratories focused on gene editing, bioprocessing, and synthetic biology research. The device's optical properties ensure stable and uniform illumination essential for biopharmaceutical production pipelines and molecular cloning tasks.

Designed to meet the demanding requirements of neuroscience and clinical diagnostics, the SCHOTT light guide is a reliable component for precise optical fiber illumination systems in research environments.

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.
