SPF Clinical and Sunscreen Test Solar Simulators and SPF / UV Transmittance Analyzers

Solar Light’s Solar Simulators are the industry standard in advanced SPF testing hardware, relied upon by over 95% of the world’s SPF testing laboratories for their unparalleled quality, accuracy, and reliability! Our Model 601 Multiport® and 16S-Series SPF Testing Kits are fully compliant with the latest FDA, JCIA and ISO recommendations for in vivo SPF testing of sunscreens. For in vitro applications, we offer state of the art single output LS1000-Series and 16S-Series Solar Simulators, which produce solar UV radiation in the 290-400nm range, and can be quickly and easily configured by the user to provide UVA only, UVB only, UVA+B, or full spectrum sunlight optionally. Models are available from 300W / 3″ (5.7 cm) to 1000W / 6″ (15.25 cm.) These precision research-grade instruments are specifically designed for the pre-irradiation step during in vitro broad spectrum sunscreen testing, and are fully compliant with the most current FDA and ISO requirements. Everything required for instant testing right out of the crate is included direct from the factory: Solar Simulator, Power Supply, Automatic Dose Controller / Radiometer, NIST-traceable PMA-Series Erythema and UVA Sensors, molded or sandblasted PMMA Plates, and all related accessories! In addition, Solar Light also offers the versatile SPF-290AS Automated UV Transmittance / Sunscreen Protection Factor Analyzer. This is an integrated turnkey desktop system for quick, efficient, and accurate UV Transmittance analysis of sunscreens, liquids, lotions, creams, sprays, gels, powders, emulsions, textiles, and more!

Solar Light’s innovative DCS-2 Automatic Dose Controller and Meter represents the state of the art methodology required in today’s busy testing laboratories. It measures the spectral response following the Erythema Action Spectrum and UVA Spectrum to allow accurate dose control when measuring SPF values in vivo, or during in vitro PMMA plate pre-irradiation. It is also capable of controlling PV Cell Testing procedures and Materials Testing studies. The unit is extremely simple to use, and dramatically reduces the number of keystrokes required to set up and run typical testing procedures. The 7″ (17.8 cm) touch sensitive screen features intuitive menus and makes it easy to set control parameters. Pre-programmed data from our intelligent PMA-Series sensors eliminates the need to input offsets, calibration data and units, and saving even more valuable time. In the event of a fault arising during a run cycle, the DCS-2 provides a visual fault indication, and automatically closes the simulator’s shutter, reducing the chances of false reporting.
