Ultraviolet
Measure ultraviolet radiation
The SU-100 is a photodiode- based UV sensor sensitive to radiation from approximately 250-400 nm (see figure 1). This spans the UV-A, UV-B and UV-C wavelength ranges and provides a measurement of total UV radiation. The calibration is NIST- traceable.
The SU-100 cannot be used to selectively measure the different UV radiation bands because the photodiode is not equally sensitive to all UV wavelengths; it is calibrated to measure total UV radiation.

Applications include:
• instantaneous and daily total UV radiation dosage monitoring in biological studies
• determining the UV filtering capacity of transparent plastic and glass barriers
