The SPF-InVivoSpec DRS 320 works with LED Hybrid Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (HDRS) for the determination of the SPF of a product. The procedure is non-invasive, quick and easy to handle.
The device consists of high quality components including a multi-wavelength LED illumination source, a fibre optic probe with spatial separation of illumination and reflectance, including a check calibration reference and a spectrometer.
- non-invasive technology
- extremely low UV-dose for HDRS < 1/10 MED of unprotected skin type 1 without UVB
- compact, easy-to-handle measurement system with hand/foot switch
- adjustable LED spectrum, ideal for research and development due to spectral analysis
- simple and safe application with convenient user software
- SPF determination using additional in vitro spectrum (hybrid method), optionally ITA values from a Skin Colorimeter Flex CL 440 probe
- time & cost saving due to fast in-vivo measurement [e.g. 1 volunteer, 10 measurement sites, 4 products, approx.1 hour (compared to 24h for ISO 24444)]
The device is currently still evaluated in a large international ring study.
