The Photoallergy / Phototoxicity 601 multiport is a turnkey system for photoallergy and phototoxicity testing. The 601 can output both UVA or UVA+UVB from its 6 individual ports. The intensity of light from each port can be adjusted individually providing the capability to deliver different doses of UV from each of the 6 ports. This allows for multiple tests to be performed in a short period of time.

The 601 is ideal for Photoallergy / Phototoxicity research because of its class "A" spectral output, +/- 5% uniformity, and 2% output stability.

UV exposure at the UVB 260 - 320 nm and UVA 320 - 400 nm range is the most biologically relevant factor for Photoallergy / Phototoxicity. The 601 multiport can output either UVA only or UVA + UVB. This feature allows an optional dimension of research to be used when studying photoallergy.

The intensity of the 601's output can be controlled by adjustment knobs on each port and from the power supply. Full intensity ranges from 500 to 700 J/m2 per minute but the intensity can be tuned down to 1 J/m2 per minute. Solar Light TM solar simulators are used in testing laboratories globally and meet the latest ASTM, COLIPA, JCIA, and FDA spectral irradiance standards.

The model 601 Multiport Solar Simulator precisely reproduces the solar ultraviolet spectrum while eliminating the visible and infrared light.  This results in UV levels 15-20 times stronger than tropical sun without the thermal portion.

Its 6 independently adjustable outputs allow for 6 tests to be conducted simultaneously, greatly reducing testing time.
