Atlas® Adds New Sensors to its XenoCal® Sensor Series
Linsengericht (Germany), May 2008 – Atlas Material Testing Technology, the global leader in lightfastness and weathering testing, is excited to launch two new XenoCal sensors for measurement and calibration. XenoCal irradiance sensors provide independent irradiance measurements, while XenoCal temperature sensors provide independent temperature measurements. Both sensors operate at the sample level.
The XenoCal BB 300-400 BST, combines, for the first time into one sensor, two important weathering parameters – irradiance in the 300 to 400 nm wavelength range and Black Standard Temperature. The new combination sensor provides highly accurate measurements, as both values are measured at the same time at the sample level. Additionally, since two measurements can now be taken simultaneously, calibration times with this sensor take significantly less time than using two separate sensors.
The second new Sensor, XenoCal LUX, has been specially introduced for the Atlas SUNTEST® CPS/CPS+ and XLS/XLS+. These instruments are well established, as photostability chambers in the Pharmaceutical industry, where tests according to the ICH Guidelines Q1B are required and lux hours are the typical dosage measurement. The XenoCal LUX sensor is an ideal tool to calibrate photostability chambers in Lux, supporting the precise compliance and documentation of required test times.
XenoCal sensors have the advantage of being device independent. Due to their small size, they can be used directly at the sample level before or during an accelerated weathering test and are easy to use with free PC software. The Atlas calibration laboratory is accredited to DIN ISO 17025 and guarantees the highest quality and accuracy of these sensors.
