UVC radiometer for germicidal UV sources including 222nm excimer lamps

The new X1-1-UV-3727 radiometer is designed to accurately measure the far-UVC irradiance or dose produced by 222nm excimer lamps. This is in addition to the measurement of other germicidal UV source types including low pressure Hg lamps and UV LEDs. Each meter has a wide dynamic range and is supplied with a traceable calibration certificate from the ISO-17025 accredited Gigahertz-Optik laboratory.

Far-UVC radiation, such as the 222nm produced by Kr-Cl excimer lamps, has been the subject of many studies and is known to be effective against a wide range of pathogens. Significantly, it is also thought to offer less photobiological hazard because far-UVC light cannot penetrate human skin as deeply as the longer wavelength UV radiation produced by low pressure Hg lamps and UVC LEDs.

The X-1-1-UV-3727 radiometer measures UV-C irradiance over a very wide dynamic range from 0.002µW/cm² to 1,000mW/cm² which permits the investigation of both germicidal efficacy as well as hazard. It is supplied with calibrations at 222nm for excimer lamps, 254nm for low pressure Hg lamps, and wavelength dependent calibration factors given in 5nm increments 250nm to 300nm for UV LEDs. The detector’s flat spectral responsivity ensures lowest measurement uncertainty irrespective of the precise wavelength of UV LEDs which inevitably varies according to operating conditions and manufacturing tolerances.
