Labsphere’s
UV-1000P Ultraviolet Transmittance Analyzer is a convenient, bench-top
instrument designed to measure the maximum percent transmittance
of "light resistant" pharmaceutical containers. The UV-1000P operates
by measuring the diffuse transmittance of the sample in the ultraviolet
region (250 to 450 nm). A dual diode array spectrometer with a xenon
flashlamp, optimized for UV emission, and an integrating sphere
provide instantaneous spectral acquisition. The diffuse illumination
geometry of the sphere measures the transmittance from all angles
and pathlengths through the sample, and utilizes the total energy
from the xenon flashlamp for optimal wavelength stability and flash-to-flash
repeatability. The optical design meets the requirements of the
United States Pharmacopeia 23 NF-18 General Chapter 661 containers.
The efficiency
of the dual diode array spectrometer, coupled with the xenon flashlamp
gives reliable and repeatable measurement results in seconds.
Instrument software automatically calculates the %T and average
values for the UVA and UVB spectral regions and instantly converts
the data to give you an accurate rating of the containers ultraviolet
blocking ability. Multiple scans can be averaged and viewed simultaneously
in easy-to-read formats. ions and instantly converts the data

Windows compatible
application software provides an easy-to-use environment with
pull-down menus, dialog boxes and built-in report generation functions.
The application software guides the operator through analysis
without complicated routines. This means minimal amount of operator
training. One-touch sample analysis gives results in less than
5 seconds and information is quickly converted to a printed report
or exported to other spreadsheet or data processing programs for
statistical analysis.
A built-in
report function generates essential information at the click of
a button. Reports include necessary GLP/GMP information such as
date, time, operator name, sample identification and test parameters.
Reports are viewed on your PC, printed, or exported as text to
data processing software for further review.
For validation
of the UV-1000P Ultraviolet Transmittance Analyzer’s performance,
application software includes an integrated Performance Validation
Routine. This allows for on-site validation and revalidation and
ensures optimum instrument performance. A set of our four calibrated
standards is included with each analyzer to validate the accuracy
of both wavelength and photometric scales. The set includes three
photometric standards and a wavelength calibration standard. The
standards are mounted in specially designed holders that automatically
orient and position the standard to ensure precise placement each
time the validation routine is performed. The instrument Performance
Validation Routine assures quality measurement results as well
as satisfying the requirements of regulatory agencies.
