Application Overview: Sunscreen & Fabric SPF Testing

This page provides an overview of the products and services which Pro-Lite offers for those working on the formulation, development and testing of sunscreens and the testing of sun protective fabrics. In addition to test & measurement equipment, we provide a training course to help users of the Labsphere UV-1000 get the most out of their investment.

Sunscreen SPF Testing The Labsphere UV-1000S was the globally accepted standard for in-vitro sunscreen testing as a result of its speed, simplicity and proven correlation with in-vivo measurements. The UV-2000S takes over and adds greater measurement sensitivity, ease of use and compliance with the COLIPA UVA-PF method. The UV-2000S allows sunscreen formulators and manufacturers to bring products to market more quickly and at lower cost. The UV-2000S measures the diffuse transmittance of the sunscreen sample in the 250-450nm range and computes the SPF, UVA ratio, COLIPA UVA-PF, critical wavelength and Boots Star Rating. » Labsphere UV-2000S suncreen SPF tester

Fabric UPF Testing The Labsphere UV-1000F is the most convenient affordable UV spectrophotometer dedicated to the testing of the ultraviolet protection factor of sun protective fabrics. The UV-1000F measures the diffuse transmittance of fabric samples in the 250-450nm range and computes the UPF in just a couple of seconds, making it the fastest instrument of its type. » Labsphere UV-1000F fabric UPF tester
