  • Calibration Control: Facilitates cross-talk matrix generation, phasing, and prephasing calculations, enhancing sequencing precision.
  • Balanced Base Composition: With approximately 45% GC and 55% AT content, it provides a stable reference for assessing sequencing performance.
  • Versatile Spike-In Control: Adjustable concentrations allow for effective calibration in both high and low diversity sample libraries.
  • Troubleshooting Aid: Assists in identifying and resolving issues related to library preparation and sequencing workflows.

This control library is widely utilised in fields such as:

  • Genomics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biotechnology
  • Clinical Diagnostics

Commonly employed in:

  • University Laboratories
  • Biomedical Research Centres
  • Clinical Research Facilities
  • Biotechnology Companies

Since its introduction, Illumina PhiX Control v3 has remained a critical component in next-generation sequencing workflows, ensuring consistent and reliable results in various research and clinical applications.

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.
