Product description

Compact Photon SC500 shutter controller, dual program/manual modes, 120/220V, 50/60Hz, for precise fluorescence light control.

The Photon SC500 is a precision dual-mode shutter controller designed for advanced fluorescence and laser laboratory systems, including PTI Fluorescence models RM-5/2003 and ImageMaster M-50. It offers two operational control modes: program and manual, allowing flexible shutter management essential for applications in live-cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and biomedical engineering.

Key features include:

  • Dual Shutter Control accommodating both automated and manual workflow requirements
  • Open and Closed Shutter Status Indicators for reliable monitoring of light exposure
  • Voltage compatibility at 120V/220V and frequency adaptability for 50Hz/60Hz, making it suitable for international laboratory environments
  • Compact footprint optimized for constrained benchtop setups commonly found in molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology labs
  • Supplied with a power cord to facilitate immediate integration

The SC500 is critical in applications requiring precise temporal regulation of illumination during bioprocessing experiments and molecular cloning workflows, where accurate light exposure impacts experimental outcomes. Its robust design supports the demanding environments of biopharmaceutical production pipelines and neuroscience research, where shutter timing can impact imaging fidelity and data accuracy.

This component enhances laboratory infrastructure by providing dependable control of fluorescence excitation, essential for downstream analytical tasks in biotechnology research and clinical diagnostics. Ideal for laboratories seeking reliable shutter management to support high-throughput imaging and laser-based assays.

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.
