BFi OPTiLAS’ team, Labsphere representative in France, Germany, Italy, Nordics and Spain, is proud to announce, in addition to its UV-2000S Transmittance Analyzer for Sunscreens, the availability of a new software routine allowing sunscreens to be characterized per the latest global in-vitro testing standards.

The UV-2000S Transmittance Analyzer benchtop R&D system is designed to rapidly measure the spectral transmittance of sunscreen products, especially those with very high Sun Protection Factors (SPF 50+), as well as UVA/UVB protection factor. Its application software automatically converts measurement data to provide the Sun Protective Factor (SPF), UVA to UVB ratio, critical wavelength (COLIPA 2009), Boot Star Rating, UVA I/UV ratio (FDA proposed rule) and UVA-PF (COLIPA Method).

The platform allows users to view, archive, retrieve and export data for measurements on both bare substrates and product substrates and supports evolving regional methods. The most recent software is supplied with new purchases of the UV-2000S and current users can upgrade with subscription-based updates.
