Photostability test chambers in accordance with the ICH Guideline Q1B options 2

The Vötsch photostability test chambers VP 250-L and VP 500-L have an ideal light, temperature and humidity distribution and is thus able to simulate reproducible light and climatic conditions.

Photostability test chambers VP 250-L, VP 500-L

The lighting equipment complies with the ICH Guideline Q1B option 2 and enables photostability tests to be performed in less than 100 hours. All specimens are positioned at the same distance from the light source and are evenly irradiated by a special light/UV filter system.
