UV-2000S/F: Ultraviolet Transmittance Analyzer

  • One touch sample analysis, with results in less than five seconds (per location, per slide)
  • Manual translation stage for accurate sample positioning, pre-and post-irradiation
  • Easy-to-use, menu-driven application software
  • Simple instrument performance validation routine ensures accurate, repeatable measurements
  • UV-2000S: Automatic calculation of SPF, UVA to UVB ratio, critical wavelength, 2007 COLIPA UVA-PF method, 2008 Boots Star Rating and proposed 2009 FDA UVA:UVB ratio method
  • UV-2000F: Automatic calculation of UPF parameters per AS/NZS 4399:1996, EN 13758-1:2002, AATCC 183:2004, GB/T18830:2009, Japan Garment association standard and user defined methods

Short Description

Labsphere’s UV-2000S and UV-2000F are ultraviolet transmittance analyzer designed to measure instantaneous UVA/UVB protection factor values of sunscreen samples and fabric/textile samples.

The UV-2000S is designed to comply with recently approved in –vitro methods, such as COLIPA UVA-PF, ISO 24443, Boots Star Rating and the US FDA.
The UV-2000F is designed to comply with recently approved testing methods such as AS/NZS 4399:1996, EN 13758-1:2002, AATCC 183:2004, GB/T18830:2009 and Japan Garment Association standard.

The UV-2000S/F rapidly measures the diffuse transmittance of sample in the ultraviolet wavelength region from 250 nm – 450 nm. Labsphere´s Spectralon® integration sphere incorporates a re-optimized Xenon flash lamp to provide exceptional diffuse illumination of the product sample. A high performance diode array spectrometer with fiber coupling and low stray light serves as detector.

Applications

  • Fast determination of UVA/UVB protection factor values of sunscreen
  • Fast determination of UPF protection factor values of fabric/textile samples
