Irradiation chambers for research, development and production

Opsytec irradiation chambers irradiate samples with UV or daylight under controlled, reproducible conditions. Depending on the series they use UV fluorescent lamps, UVC amalgam lamps, medium-pressure Hg lamps or UV LEDs and cover UVC, UVB, UVA and the visible spectral range. They are used for disinfection, UV curing and bonding, accelerated aging, photostability testing and surface activation. All chambers operate under time or dose control and are available in different sizes and performance classes.

The chambers cover all three stages: in research, our chambers serve as laboratory instruments for reproducible irradiation experiments; in development, they are used for sample production, process trials and accelerated aging; and in production, they work as manufacturing equipment with dose control and fixed cycle times. The same chamber can therefore accompany a product from the first test series through to series production.

Highly efficient UV fluorescent lamps in the BS series produce much higher irradiance than the natural sun. The applications range from disinfection and UV aging to photostability testing.

With the compact UV LED chamber  BSL-01i and the larger BSL-02, we offer you versatile irradiation chamber based on high-quality UV LEDs. The most common UV-curing adhesives can be cured, due to the high irradiance of 100 mW/cm² to 200 mW/cm².

Compared to our standard BS series, the BSH-02 with UVC amalgam lamps offers irradiance that is 750% higher. So, the irradiance is high enough for high-energy applications or curing.

The BSM series uses medium-pressure Hg lamps for technical applications such as UV gluing and UV hardening. Due to the high irradiance and the built-in shutter, UV exposure is absolutely reproducible and completed within a few seconds.
