SubscribeA very wide range of ultraviolet lamps from low power hand held models to high intensity units is available.
There are filtered lamps in three wavelengths for use in fluorescent techniques and unfiltered lamps in both long and short (germicidal) wavelengths. All incorporate an extruded, anodised aluminium housing and a specially designed unique profile has been developed for the hand held lamps. The operator friendly shape permits lamps to be held easily with gloved hands.
Filtered lamps
These highly efficient, well designed lamps are produced in three wavelengths: 254, 312 and 365nm and dual wavelength combinations. Power ranges from a single 4W tube up to two 15W tubes.
Applications include:
Short wavelength (254nm)
Fluorescence techniques, fluorochemistry, mineralogy, photopolymerisation, mutation studies, toxicology.
Mid wavelength (312nm)
Electrophoresis gel viewing.
Long wavelength (365nm)
TLC plate viewing, fluorochemistry, food inspection, quality control, titration, pesticide analysis, mineralogy

Intensity at 15cm µW/cm2
High intensity lamps
Incorporating cold cathode quartz grid lamps, housed in anodised aluminium extrusion and with the same highly efficient ondulex reflector as filtered lamps. The power supply unit is remote from the lamp head in a separate metal package. Grid lamps produce high intensity, very consistent, short-wavelength (254nm) ultraviolet illumination. The 100W units are available fitted with longlife filters or to special order without filter for germicidal applications.
Applications include:
Biotechnology – mutagenesis, photopolymerisation, toxicology, mycology, sterilisation.

Unfiltered ultraviolet lamps
Germicidal lamps
Widely used in medical and scientific research laboratories as well as in electronics and the food and beverage industries. Areas that must be kept free from bacterial contamination may be irradiated with UVItec germicidal lamps, provided safeguards are in place to protect operators. The same range of lamps is available with either BL or BLB long-wavelength tubes:
BL (Blacklight) tubes are actinic ultraviolet type and include a white light component in the output.
Applications for BL lamps include:
Polymer curing, adhesive curing, dermatology, pharmacology, photoresist exposure.
BLB (Blacklight Blue) tubes are self-filtered cobalt glass – to reduce the visible light component and increase fluorescent contrast.
Applications for BLB lamps include:
Non-destructive testing, quality control, invisible coding/marking, counterfeit note detection, rodent contamination detection, readmission control, aflatoxin detection, signature verification.
