Labsphere’s UV3000S Sunscreen Tester incorporates the latest technologies and software enhancements to achieve accurate in vitro SPF Sun Protection Factor analysis of cosmetics and suncare products to qualify and receive the “very high, 50 or higher SPF” sun protection label, and HEVIS sun protection testing. Driven by industry requirements to simplify product labeling and improved in vitro methods to validate product UV Protection, the UV3000S is designed to comply with approved in vitro methods and in vivo spectrophotometer methods.
The UV3000S flash technology saves time and money when bringing new products to market. The UV3000 rapidly measures the diffuse transmittance of sunscreen samples in the ultraviolet wavelength region from 290 nm – 450 nm and High Energy Visible (HEV) blue light from 400 nm to 500 nm. Labsphere’s Spectralon® integrating sphere incorporates a re-optimized xenon flash lamp to provide exceptional diffuse illumination of the product sample and minimize data integration time. Our new highperformance diode array spectrometers coupled by advanced fiber optics are optimized at the system level for low stray light with superior wavelength stability and flash-to-flash repeatability.
