Opsytec Irradiation Chamber BS-03 is a medium-sized irradiation chamber engineered for precise, time- or dose-controlled exposure of samples to UVA, UVB, or UVC light. Supplied fully assembled with all essential components, it offers a complete, ready-to-use solution for laboratory and industrial applications. The chamber can be configured for a single spectral range to maximize irradiance or with two independently controlled lamp groups for multi-range applications.
Key Applications
Irradiation of bacteria and cell cultures
Photostability testing of chemical compounds and pharmaceuticals
UV and daylight materials testing
UV curing, sealing, and bonding processes
Spacious & Practical Design
- Internal dimensions: 26.77 × 19.29 × 12.6 in (68 × 49 × 32 cm)
- Sliding sample carrier: 23.62 × 17.72 in (60 × 45 cm)
- Load capacity: Up to 44 lbs (20 kg)
- Temperature-controlled: Maintains ~77 °F (25 °C) to prevent thermal damage
- User-friendly loading: Sliding sample carrier for effortless handling
- Uniform irradiation: Samples can be positioned freely without compromising results
Precision Control
Opsytec Irradiation Chamber BS-03 includes a high-performance controller and integrated sensors, providing:
- Independent control of two spectral ranges
- Automatic dose regulation for consistent exposure
- High-precision measurement with factory-calibrated RMD sensors
Heat Load & Operating Temperature
The total heat load of the BS-03 chamber is 1,433 BTU/hr (420 watts), including both the lamps and the internal electronics inside the chamber.
The controller consumes approximately 34 BTU/hr (10 watts).
During continuous operation, the typical temperature increase inside the chamber is approximately 9–18 °F (5–10 °C), helping maintain safe and stable operating conditions for sensitive samples.
The cooling system operates through natural airflow: surrounding air enters from the bottom of the chamber, passes over the samples and lamps, and is vented out through the top of the chamber. This design helps regulate internal temperature and prevents excessive thermal buildup during extended irradiation cycles.
