Solar Simulators
Solar Light Simulators, or solar simulators, are precision research-grade instruments are specifically designed to comply with the latest laboratory standards from ASTM, IEC, ISO, and others. A wide selection is offered, from our patented Model 601 Multiport® SPF Testing 6-output Simulator to our single output units, which are available in 150W / 0.4″ (1 cm) output through 1000W / 6″ (15.25 cm) output, in UV, Air Mass, and Custom Spectra configurations. They can reliably produce UV levels several times stronger than tropical sun, without any of the associated heat load, which is ideal for measuring the damaging effects of UV during materials testing. These devices are well suited to a variety of applications including materials testing, in vitro and in vivo scientific research, PMMA plate pre-irradiation, academic studies, photobiological applications, and SPF testing, just to name a few.
OVERVIEW
Solar Light’s advanced Model 601 Multiport® SPF Testing Solar Simulator is the industry standard for high throughput SPF testing and dermatological studies. It produces UVA or UVA+B (290-400nm) from its 6 individual 8mm diameter square-port outputs, each of which can be controlled separately. Up to 6 tests can be performed simultaneously in a short period of time, dramatically increasing lab productivity. The output intensity is rated up to 4 MEDs per minute, and can be controlled by the adjustment knobs on each port, as well as via the included XPS-300 power supply. The output is approximately 20 times the intensity of the sun, and simulates the ultraviolet spectrum of the sun with over 90% homogeneity. A built-in locking Articulation Arm assures precise light guide placement on subjects. Solar Light Solar Simulators are used in 95% of SPF testing laboratories globally, and meet the latest ISO, FDA, JCIA, and COLIPA spectral irradiance standards. Everything required to begin testing is included with the 601 Multiport®: The 6-Port Simulator, DCS-2 Automated Dose Controller, NIST-Traceable PMA-Series SUV and UVA Sensors, Safety Glasses, and a starter pack of 100 disposable Hypoallergenic Placement Pads. An optional Point of Service Cart for the 601 Multiport® is available with 2 dimensional electronic actuators to allow accurate placement of the light guides, and includes a fixture to carry the power supply, a stand for the radiometer, and a desktop for note taking as shown.
Solar Light’s state-of-the-art 1000W single output LS1000-Series Solar Simulators produce solar UV radiation in the 290-400nm range with UVA only and UVB only options. Output beams are available in either round or square shape, with 2 – 6″ (5 – 15.25 cm) sizes. These precision research-grade instruments are specifically designed to comply with laboratory standards such as ASTM, IEC, and ISO. LS1000-Series simulators can reliably produce UV levels several times stronger than tropical sun, without any of the associated heat load, which is ideal for measuring the damaging effects of UV during materials testing, as well as for cosmetics, dermatological, photobiological, and medical research.
Solar Light’s state-of-the-art 1000W single output LS1000-Series Solar Simulators accurately replicate full spectrum sunlight, with 1 sun output intensity by producing Class A Air Mass 0 and Air Mass 1.5 Emission Spectra. Output beams are available in either round or square shape, with 2-6″ (5-15.25 cm) sizes. These precision research-grade instruments are specifically designed to comply with the latest ASTM, IEC, and ISO laboratory standards, and are relied upon by the most prestigious laboratories worldwide.
