Photophysics

All of the work carried out by Spectratox is underpinned by strict adherence to quality control. All protocols and procedures are carefully documented and controlled.

Work carried out by the National Photobiology Unit provides quality assurance.

Equipment used by Spectratox has been designed and built according to our own specification, relying on our many years of experience of drug photo-testing allied to our knowledge of the latest developments in optics.

Knowledge of the light dose administered to subjects during testing is fundamental to the reliability of the results obtained. The team at Spectratox has an international reputation in the field of UV light measurement.

All measurements are traceable to the National Physical Laboratory, which is the UK’s National Measurement Institute.

Calibrations are performed in-house in an optical radiation laboratory accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). Accreditation by UKAS demonstrates competence, impartiality and performance capability of the laboratory.

At Spectratox, we place a high value on dosimetry – the science of accurate measurement. The result of this background activity may be summed in one word, “Confidence”.
