Solar Light provides products that test the rate of which chemicals degrade to both UV and visible light. Drugs commonly tested drugs are pharmaceuticals, sunscreens and other products that may be exposed to light. Testing these products requires exposing them to UV and visible light, and measuring the amount of light that was outputted in order to find the efficacy of the product.

Solar Light detectors and meters can help you with all the parts of this testing.

Outputting UVA and Visible Light:

The most accurate testing is accomplished by spot testing a sample
using a solar simulator. Solar Light provides solar simulators that are ideal for testing such as our 16S single port. The light from a solar simulator is accelerated up to 20 times the intensity of the sun and other light sources.

Environmental Rooms and Chambers Measurement Systems:

Our analog detectors can be used to measure UVA and Visible light in environmental rooms and chambers for testing according to many standards. We can provide a power supply to power the detectors or you can use your own power supply.

Solar Light provides SmartCal detectors for large scale applications. These detectors can be calibrated by the user in the field

Measuring the UVA and visible light:

Measuring the UVA and Visible light can be accomplished using our our detectors: PMA2110 UVA Detector and PMA2130 Visible Light Detector. These detectors are available in both digital and analog output. They can be used with data loggers or with one of our radiometers. Solar Light detectors used to measure light output for are calibrated to NIST traceable standards and stay calibrated for 12 months. Transfer calibrations can be performed using the PMA2100 research grade radiometer with our UVA PMA2110 detector and visible light PMA 2130 detector. This radiometer and detector will measure the effects of UVA and visible light to ICH guidelines.

All radiometers and detectors are calibrated to NIST standards.
