The product group "UV Radiation Systems" contains the products Bio-Genic, Bio-Spectra, Bio-Sun, ...
Controlled by microprocessor, the Bio-Genic can program the dosage of UV energy in joules/cm² in the 3 wavelengths, 254, 312 or 365 nm. A UV cell continuously measures the intensity of the UV source which enables the microprocessor to constantly control that the dosage received is in accordance with the energy programmed.
Advantages:
- Excellent homogeneity of the UV irradiation (+ 7 %).
- Irradiation area: 350 x 200 mm.
- Temperature at the tray level not exceeding 30 °C (from a room temperature of 20 °C) which makes this UV generator suitable for all Biological tests.
- The automatic and continuous control of the UV irradiation by the microprocessor ensures perfect reproducibility of the test whatever the variations of the UV intensity.
Features:
- Irradiation system mounted in a cabinet including:
- A UV source (254, 312 or 365 nm)
- A data acquisition card controlled by microprocessor
- A set of UV sensors with interface filter and silicon cell
- A temperature probe
- A programming keyboard with monitor for visualization and control
- A tray for irradiation (surface 350 x 200 mm)
- A system of ventilation
The Bio-Spectra system for Ultraviolet irradiation of laboratory animals and is designed for the following three fields: cosmetology, pharmacology, pharmaceutical industry.
The system is also suitable for all applications using defined dosages of UV-energy.
Bio-Spectra has been designed for UV irradiation of laboratory animals in order to perform the following different test :
- Test of photosensitization (phototoxicity and photoallergy)
- Test of photoprotection for determination of protection coefficient of sun creams and other compounds.
UV carcinogenicity study on a nude mouse and therefore on the preventive effect of a cosmetic cream. SBC (Sun Burn Cells) kinetic on a nude mouse exposed to UV-B irradiation. Test on cultures (test of skin aging in vivo and in vitro).
Bio-Spectra can also be controlled by a computer and can program the UV irradiation dosage in ENERGY (Joules/cm²). This system ensures an absolute reproducibility of the tests whatever the light intensity variations of the lamps may be.
It can also log all the information relevant to the test operation:
- Energy programmed
- Energy received
- UV intensity variation
- Variation in temperature.
At the end of the test, the operator can have the test report printed with :
- Energy curves
- UV intensity curves
- Temperature curves.
Main features
- Excellent homogeneity of the irradiated area
- The irradiated area (900 x 80mm) is sufficient to treat up to 10 Guinea-Pigs
type Albinos Dunkin-Hartley simultaneously - The temperature at the animal level does not exceed 30°C (86°F) for a room temperature of 20°C (68°F) which makes this UV generator suitable for Biological testing
- The automatic and continuous control of the UV irradiation by the computer ensures perfect reproducibility of the tests
Bio-Sun is an irradiating system controlled by microprocessor which enables you to make the following tests on cell cultures:
- Skin aging test in vivo and in vitro
- Test with keratinocytes and melanocytes Fibroblasts
- Controlled UV-irradiation of all kinds of small drafts like: Petri dishes or microplates
Bio-Sun can also be monitored by a computer. BIO-SUN system is composed of:
- Irradiation unit equipped with two different UV sources: long wave 365 nm for the first source, medium wave 312 nm for the second source.
- Keyboard enabling you to program the UV energy dosage in joules/cm².
- Sliding tray which acn house two microplates or three petri dishes Ø 100 mm. The tray is sterilized by two 254 nm germicidal tubes.
- Ventilation system.
Bio-Sun allows you to control the exact level of UV energy required for your samples. It delivers the exact energy dosage you select thanks to an internal UV cell which constantly controls the UV intensity emitted by the tubes. The automatic and continuous control of the UV irradiation by a microprocessor controlled data acquisition card providing 6 UV measurements per second ensures perfect reproducibility of the tests whatever the UV intensity. This system also enables you to program very small dosages with perfect and accurate reproducibility.
