Hybrid Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (HDRS) non-invasive SPF methods, in accordance with the ISO/FDIS 23698 proposed standard, are currently being evaluated as an alternative to in vivo SPF testing to provide UVAPF and SPF values while eliminating the ethical and safety considerations present with current erythema in vivo test methods. Solar Light has developed this disruptive technology to augment its own technology used in the industry for the past 50 years. This new technology can be used today as an in vivo screening tool for development purposes.
As the Global Leader providing the current gold standard for SPF measurements today, Solar Light has developed the fastest performing HDRS instruments on the market, keeping product research, formulation and clinical testing in mind. HDRSplus™ software is designed specifically for a clinical testing laboratory environment and simplifies all HDRS calculations.
