Solar simulator LS1000

The LS1000 solar simulator produces solar UV radiation in the 290 to 400 nm range, with UVA-only and UVB-only options.

With 98% uniformity available in the usable central area of the square beam of 6″ (15.25 cm) or 4″ (10 cm) Depending on the model selected, these precision search instruments are specifically designed to comply with the latest laboratory standards such as ASTM, IEC and ISO.

These units can reliably produce UV levels many times stronger than the tropical sun without the associated heat load, making them ideal for measuring the damaging effects of UV in materials testing, including sunscreen products.

Directions for use

In vitro part

The LS1000 solar simulator is easy to use. Once the connections have been made, simply :

check that the obstructor is closed (off), that the UV filters are appropriate for the solar standard to be applied and that the distance is adequate for the sample size,
switch on the power supply,
light the lamp,
Allow to warm up for several minutes, place a detector (according to the solar standard to be applied) and open the obstruction to measure the intensity,
close the occluder, place the samples and open the occluder as long as necessary,
close the obstructor to recover the samples.
switch off the lamp and allow it to cool for several minutes before switching off the power supply.

NB: Annual calibration is necessary to ensure the quality and stability of UV radiation.

Different spectra can be obtained depending on the filters used to comply with the various solar standards:
