ANNOUNCING OPTOMETRICS IN-VITRO SPF TEST ANALYSIS LAB!
WHO WILL BENEFIT:
For existing customers, this is an opportunity to outsource in-vitro SPF testing during peak load or seasonal periods.
For those who do not yet own an SPF unit, this is a great time to utilize our SPF testing services and experience the benefits and efficacy of the SPF-290S Analyzer System and what it can do for you in your lab.
For those who do not have sufficient testing requirements to cost-justify an SPF unit, you can still get your in-vitro SPF results using the test equipment that has long been the industry leader and standard for SPF in-vitro test equipment. And fast!

Standard Protocol
In-vitro analysis is performed using the SPF-290S Analyzer. A 1-cc syringe is used to dispense 100 or more dabs of your sample over a Transpore® tape substrate area (70.7 x 70.7 mm) at the rate of 2 μl/cm2, as specified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Results are determined by averaging results of 18 scans of your sample in different locations on the Transpore® tape substrate. Each scan takes a transmittance measurement every 2nm from 290 to 400nm. These are compared to a reference scan at the same wavelength to compute the sample transmittance. The SPF-290S’ WinSPF software converts measurements to the well-known SPF values, Boots Star ratings (if requrested) or Australian TNUV values using these established calculation methods. |

Premium Protocol
Optometrics can perform photo-stability testing on your sample. You will receive our standard in-vitro SPF analysis as well as detailed information on how the effects of drying and exposure to air and light affect the SPF (or cumulative absorbance) of your product over time. Please ask for our SPF Testing Plus service when ordering.
