Smart analytes

Red, green, purple.

QuantaDose analytes combine molecular fluorescence with a photochromic dosimeter, so one card shows what kind of UV is present and roughly how strong it is.

Wavelength: two glowing colors

Color tells you the type of UV.

  • Reddish-pink: the longwave analyte glows red to red-pink under artificial UVA/UVB light (about 300–395 nm).
  • Green: the shortwave analyte glows green to yellow-lime under artificial UVC light (about 220–275 nm).

For example, the multi-fluorescent analyte shows red under 395 nm UVA and green under 254 nm germicidal UVC.

Intensity: purple

Purple tells you how strong.

A separate photochromic dosimeter strip responds to UV between 200 and 400 nm (UVA, UVB and UVC). It is clear before exposure and shows shades of purple as soon as exposure ends, giving a reusable intensity reading after about 15 seconds.

On the 6-in-1, the center circle briefly shows the letters UV after 254 nm UVC exposure, confirming more than 300 microwatts.

Where you'll find it

The 3rd Edition 6-in-1.

The 6-in-1 Multi-Wavelength Bi-Luminescent card brings longwave, shortwave and photochromic analytes together, plus a UVC/Far-UVC beam detector on the back for Far-UV installs. Uses include UV flashlights, nail-gel lamps, reptile UVB lights and classroom experiments on UV and fluorescence.
