UV Solar Simulators are designed for demanding photobiology applications, delivering standards-compliant UV output across the entire sampling area. They feature a patent-pending optical design that ensures non-uniformity of irradiance below 5% and allow adjustable output from 10% to 100% of the maximum solar constants using an integrated attenuating device. These simulators are ideal for SPF testing, photo-toxicity, photo-allergy, photo-carcinogenicity, and photo-genotoxicity studies.
Designed for Photobiology Applications: Accurate UV simulation for in-vivo and in-vitro studies
Standards Compliant: CTFASA, COLIPA, JCIA, CTFA, FDA, ISO certified
Variable Output: 10% to 100% of maximum available solar constants
Uniform Irradiance: Less than 5% non-uniformity across the work plane
Integrated Safety Features: Housing with interlocks, forced air cooling, ozone-free lamp
Shutter: Rugged single-blade shutter rated for 1 million cycles, optional electronic control
Xenon Arc Lamp: Long-life, adjustable output with integrated filters, low maintenance
FDA: 21 CFR Part 201, §201.327 (SPF test procedure, broad spectrum testing, sunscreen pre-irradiation)
ISO: ISO 24444:2019(E) (SPF in vivo determination), ISO 24443:2021(E) (UVA photoprotection in vitro)
COLIPA: International SPF Test Method (CTFASA/COLIPA/JCIA/CTFA: May 2006)

Replacement filters (sold separately)
Optional Digital Exposure System for enhanced temporal stability
Optional electronic shutter with TTL input
Operation
Power on the simulator; electronics and lamp settings are pre-configured
Adjust output irradiance using the integrated variable attenuator
Use the manual shutter or optional electronic shutter to control beam exposure
Position the simulator at the specified working distance for accurate solar constants
Maintenance
Inspect lamp and filters periodically; replace lamps after ~1000 hours of spectral-compliant operation
Keep the housing, optics, and filters clean for consistent output
Ensure fan and filter systems are functional to maintain optimal operating temperature
Verify temporal stability and irradiance uniformity periodically
