## Overview

The UVC Light Test Card by Quanta X Technology LLC is a cutting-edge photochromic dosimeter that visually measures UV intensity across UVA, UVB, and UVC wavelengths (200-400 nm). Featuring a fluorescence indicator for germicidal UVC (250-270 nm), it offers instant, reliable UV exposure data without batteries, all in a lightweight, eco-conscious design.

## Description

Product description The QuantaDose dual wavelength multi-strip UVC test card measures UV intensity with a very specialized analyte for wide-band photochromic UV dosimetry combined with a narrow-band short-wave fluorescent indicator for testing optimal UVC germicidal wavelengths. QuantaDose UVC test cards are a basic, reliable, low cost, simple, in-house, and right out of your pocket method of monitoring UV intensity along with verifying that the optimal UVC germicidal light wavelengths are being used in your disinfection process without spending hundreds of dollars on fragile UV and UVC light meters. QuantaDose provides you with real-time results for super fast verification/validation purposes to avoid an increasing number of fake and defective germicidal UVC light products on the market today. QuantaDose has created a specially formulated ink chemistry that is sensitive to only optimal germicidal UVC which will not fluoresce to visible light or UVA and UVB. This ensures only germicidal wavelengths between 250-270nm are shown in bright green. Top Light Sensor Test Wavelength of UV Exposure: When exposed to optimal UVC germicidal wavelengths, the QuantaDose test card undergoes an instant color change to green where fluorescence is directly related to the energy values wavelength received. Fluorescence stops when excited electrons release all photos within nanoseconds after exposure. Bottom Light Sensor Test Intensity of UV Exposure: When exposed to UVA, UVB & UVC wavelengths, the QuantaDose test card undergoes a gradual color change in seconds from clear to light purple, displaying the word "ULTRAVIOLET " at approximately 300 µW/cm² UVC and dark purple 3000 µW/cm² UVC that is directly related to the energy value received. Temporary photochromic dosimeter color is used to check intensity after exposure and should be checked immediately after exposure for most accurate intensity results. Test is completed in 15 secs, remove card from source! Directions Expose the test card to the light source. Top sensor: Instant green color change for UVC germicidal wavelengths. Bottom sensor: Gradual color change from clear to purple for UVA, UVB & UVC wavelengths. Check intensity immediately after exposure for most accurate results. Test is completed in 15 seconds, remove card from source.

Review: Credit card size - It’s smaller than I thought and reported it missing but found it later in the packaging. It is credit card size look out but looks good and works well
Review: Testing baby UV steriliser - We are expecting a baby and have purchased a UV steriliser, then saw lots of warnings that some aren't actually emitting the correct wavelength. We purchased this card to check. As our steriliser doesn't have a window, we had to get a bit creative - using a phone recording it to check the right sections were glowing as expected (I'm glad to say they were).

## Features

- Multi-analyte constituents provide fast chromatic analytical data for UV/UVC testing.
- Photochromic dosimeter strip uses an analyte sensitive to wide-band UV between 200-400nm UVA/UVB/UVC
- UV dosimeter color strip concentration is directly proportional to UV intensity (higher intensity equals darker color)
- UV dosimeter color concentrations are also directly proportional to UVA UVB and UVC wavelength (shorter wavelengths equals lighter color) at max value.
- UVC photo-luminescence detection technology displays temporary fluorescence between 250-270 nm when directly exposed to optimal germicidal UVC light waves.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between this card and 2nd gen quantadose uvc light test card ?**
A: Hello Mozart,

The most important differences between the 1st and 2nd edition QuantaDose™ UVC test cards pertain to usage of high power UVC industrial-grade PPE disinfection equipment.   
 
2nd Edition Differences: 

1) More Resilient PVC prevents aging/tanning when using high power UVC   

2) Higher card to analyte contrast for better visualization of WPV (Word Power Visibility) when the calibrated minimum intensity point of 300 µW/cm² is reached when under 85% 253.7 nm with most of the remaining light energy peaking at 315 nm. Commonly referred to as the mercury line because this is the spectrum from low-pressure mercury lamps commonly used in the most trustworthy UVGI disinfection processes around the world.   

3) Added UVC/UVB Color Scale Differential because it is important anyone using photochromatic analytes to visualize UV/UVC intensity understands that shorter wavelengths like UVC 200-280nm don't penetrate the analyte used for UV intensity measurements as deeply as UVA or UVB which causes UVC to display a lighter color for a higher intensity wavelength.   

The lighter analyte color when testing UVC is precisely the reason for the inverted word ” ULTRAVIOLET” first becoming legible during exposure to optimal UVC germicidal wavelengths while the color concentration is still light at 300 µW/cm² yet the word ”ULTRAVIOLET” is clearly visible in both UVC test card editions. 

4) Batch numbers are printed on all 2nd edition UVC test cards for unprecedented quality control over the reliability and accuracy of photochromic materials used in manufacturing QuantaDose™ UVC test cards.  

5) Questions about how to test a UVC light? The purchase of a 2nd edition QuantaDose™ gives you easy access to our world-class toll-free technical support line which is printed on the back of the UVC test card so QuantaDose™ customers can consult directly to highly trained engineers in the USA to answer questions on the best ways to test different UVC devices and how to interpret UVC wavelength and intensity results.  

1st and 2nd edition QuantaDose™ cards both perform the same for general UVC analysis. The added durability of this 2nd Edition was designed for higher power commercial use.    

1st edition QuantaDose™ UVC test card customers also have access to our world-class toll-free technical support line available on our Amazon sellers account page.   

1st edition QuantaDose™ cards also work for gauging the SUN’s UV intensity so you can take necessary precautions such as sunscreen or shade, different design considerations were used as we expect the purchase for testing a single consumer-grade UVC lighting product limited the use case of the specialized photochromic UV analyte.

Besides the differences above, the professional 2nd edition design provides clear instructions on the two-step UVC testing process on the front of the card.  

The 1st edition provides a design for multiple uses for UVC light testing and/or use it for a UVA/UVB sun index card for maximum usefulness for end consumers in non-commercial UVC environments.

**Q: My uvc lights do not show uvc on the quantadose card only the ultraviolet shows on the bottom are they phonys ?**
A: First, let us make sure you aren’t assuming the UV-C indicator remains glowing after it is removed from the light source.  The UVC indicator will only glow when exposed to direct UV-C light.

Remember, you must always protect your eyes and skin from UV irradiation and follow the light manufacturers’ guidelines when operating the device for safe usage in close proximity to any UV source.

As long as there is no misunderstanding of how step 1 works.  The short answer, if these UVC lights were marketed to you as UVC germicidal lights, then YES, they are 100% phonies. 

All UVC wavelengths between 222 nm and 280 nm will cause a reaction that makes the letters UV-C glow, but it's way worse than a phony UVC light because, at this stage of the pandemic we are in today, as variants cause a lot of uncertainty!

Nine months ago, QuantaDose was in full swing, and it was a wave of new companies entering into the UVC business trying to figure out how to measure UVC effectiveness that made up a large part of our call volume.

This dynamic has changed dramatically. We now get calls from patients still laying in their hospital beds, recovering from weeks in the ICU, gratefully looking forward to going home in the coming days, unlike so many that walked through the same doors.

However, their lives won't be the same; when these COVID survivors return to their communities, homes, and workplaces, they will not be taking their safety for granted anymore as they plan their decisive pandemic countermeasures while awaiting a doctor's discharge from their life-saving medical care.

Let’s look at a QuantaDose card and show the different Step 1 results under several light conditions to put the UVC, mixing UV light and the absence of UV light into a wavelength that we can all see with our own eyes to spot any UV deception. 

I have several different wavelengths here, UVC bulbs and several UV/UVC LEDs, to mix with UVC to validate other wavelengths of light interference in Step 1 UV-C testing. 

Now we will take some video footage of the UV-C indicator to demonstrate how different indicator colors can provide useful data on the wavelengths of irradiation being emitted from a UV device.  The video covers many of the color and wavelength possibilities encountered with step 1 UV-C indicator.  Using 3 different UV meters, we validated the QuantaDose to indicate wavelength, intensity and calculate dose with distance over time.

**Q: So if my uvc light takes 5 minutes to show the word ultraviolet, it's intensity is around 20 times less than 300 uw/cm^2?**
A: Please don’t leave the QuantaDose test card exposed to a UV source for 5 minutes. The QuantaDose UVC test card is designed for rapid intensity testing (15-second result), prolonged exposure will cause photodegradation effects to photochromic analyte.

There are three main types of UVC test cards on the market today. With the three of them come three very important and very distinctive differences between these UVC measurement cards. Measurements of these three aspects of UVC radiation include its intensity, accumulative dose, and optimal UVC wavelength which are all critical detection factors of knowledge that will aid in the best UVC disinfection process.

1) UVC dosage test card
Function: Measures Accumulative Dose (one time use) Very effective, and expensive for single use.

SINGLE USE! A UVC measurement card designed for testing prolonged dosage exposure (say 5 minutes or more) is a UVC Dosimeter Test Card, these are your typical irreversible medical-grade UVC test cards rated at 25/50/100 mJ/cm². These cards provide a final confirmation of an adequate UVC power level reaching a surface over the entire time of the disinfection process. These irreversible UVC test cards are rated for accumulative dosage rather than real-time intensity.

2) UVC intensity test card and 3) UVC wavelength indicator
Function: Measures Real-time Intensity (limited reuse) includes UVC wavelength indicator

Reusable! A UVC measurement card designed for rapid UVC intensity testing (no longer than 15 seconds) is a QuantaDose UVC test card, this test is a lot like a credit card-sized meter with a single point of calibration starting at 300 µW/cm² with word visibility in the intensity test area. just like a meter, if the UVC light source is not putting out over 300 µW/cm² the meter will NEVER display 300 µW/cm², likewise, the QuantaDose UVC test card will NEVER display the word ULTRAVIOLET in the lower test area until the minimum intensity is reached, no matter how long the QuantaDose test card is exposed to the source, same as a meter would not measure intensity at 300 µW/cm² until that intensity is reached. Time isn’t the factor in intensity, overtime is dosage, not intensity. After the 15-second intensity test, providing you have reached at least 300 µW/cm² you can now calculate the dosage over time with a little math at distances closer and farther from the source just as you would be able to do with a UVC meter.

If you are not getting a color change displaying the word ULTRAVIOLET in the lower section of the Quantadose test card while the UV-C indicator is green within 15 seconds, the UVC light is likely not reaching the desired level of germicidal intensity required to achieve disinfection in under ten minutes and should be investigated, for either being aged UVC mercury bulbs or an inadequate or fake UVC product altogether.

**Q: If the UVC bulb picks up band 200nms to 400 nms, is it correct to think that this dosimeter would not pick up a bulb emitting 180-185 nms?**
A: It is correct to think that, but not for the reason I think you think so.   Please let me explain.  The UVC emissions at 185nm are absorbed 100% by oxygen in the air, hence this is the ozone producing part of the electromagnetic spectrum.   In low-pressure mercury-vapor lamps, there are spectrum lines present at 184 nm and 254 nm.   Special fused silica glass is used in the manufacturing to keep the 184 nm light from being absorbed for maximum ozone production.

When you see UVC mercury-vapor lamps sold as non-ozone producing, that only means they changed the glass tube so these very short UVC wavelengths are absorbed in the glass tube itself.   However, in the case that this 185nm wavelength can escape the glass tube, the 185nm wavelength can’t escape air molecules that undergo ionic changes while creating ozone to effectively block all the 185nm wavelength to within the distance of air molecules that surround the bulb.

Testing of these wavelengths requires a vacuum otherwise the best way to pick up a bulb emitting 180-185 nm is to measure the ozone in the air!   Always remember that your nose is the best ozone meter ever made, and if you can smell it, ozone P.P.M is too high to safely be in the room.   Over the long run, your lungs can suffer from oxidative damage.  Using this 180-185 nm spectrum in the disinfection process does require additional safeguards, like understanding the half-life of ozone at different humidity levels!  

The good news is any UVC bulb with emissions of 180-185nm UVC will always peak output at 253.7nm which is why the QuantaDose UV analyte is designed to display the word “ULTRAVIOLET” at 300 µW/cm² under direct exposure to 253.7nm UVC

Our QuantaDose UVC test card is absolutely perfect for rapid testing of either ozone or non-ozone producing UVC bulbs!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Credit card size

It’s smaller than I thought and reported it missing but found it later in the packaging. It is credit card size look out but looks good and works well

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Testing baby UV steriliser
*by H***H on 29 October 2023*

We are expecting a baby and have purchased a UV steriliser, then saw lots of warnings that some aren't actually emitting the correct wavelength. We purchased this card to check. As our steriliser doesn't have a window, we had to get a bit creative - using a phone recording it to check the right sections were glowing as expected (I'm glad to say they were).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent long term investment, but this is the 1st Edition Card
*by S***D on 29 December 2022*

Quantadose UV Test Card ==================== There is very little regulation with uv protection on devices from sunglasses, to heat lamps down to sterilisation devices, it's a grey area that could just be bad QA down to outright fraud. It has annoyed me so much to the extent that I have got this to check some of these claims, in particular sunglasses and ski masks that claim UV400 which should cut out 100% of uva and uvb rays and photochromic lenses which should darken with uv light. I don't have any uvc lamp to test the uvc on the card, but I have tested uva/uvb, photochromic uv extensively on a large number of glasses and was shocked at the number of so-called UV400 glasses that fail the test. The things I like about the card - It’s simple to use, it’s reusable, the cons being it is quite expensive, but I regard this contextually - considering it can save you a lot more money in the long run by returning faulty / bad items or binning items that will lull you into a false sense of security since its not actually doing what it says it does. For this reason I think for myself it's definitely worth it. However, I didn't do my homework before purchasing - I incorrectly assumed from the price that this was the 2nd Edition of the card (which also works for UVC Far Light, sometimes referred to as far-UVC), the first Edition of the card works on UVC near light, and americans can buy the 2nd Edition card at Walmart (their supermarket superstore) for around 12 dollars at the time of writing. I got this 1st Edtion card on Amazon through 3rd party resellers for £21 at the time of writing. The far-UVC light devices are a relatively new form of uvc light which has started to dribble in new products in 2022, created in response to Covid, for sanitising large areas utilising far-UVC which can reach longer distances, but not strong enough to pierce human skin (ie won't burn) or penetrate the first layer of your eyeball (i.e. won't cause retinal damage), making it safe for humans. I’m guessing these far-uvc items may become more common in future as the technology improves. The card comes with no instruction, but it is easy to use if you do a little research beforehand. The card has two sections. One lights up “UVC” when uvc is detected and the other lights up “UltraViolet” when uva or uvb hits it. The bottom strip has an intensity grading, and can be used to test UV400 items like sunglasses etc or testing UV torches or lamps. If you want to check if your sterilisation item does actually work, it should light up *both* the top and bottom - if it only lights up the top, it is using UVC leds, but its intensity is not high enough to actually sterilise anything. Also note sterilisation is less effective the further away the item you are sterilising is placed from the uvc light source. I test sunglasses by first shining a UV torch directly at the card, and repeating the test behind the lens of the sunglasses or ski mask that I'm testing. This has already saved me money returning a few items where I send pictures of the results that the sellers can't really deny and confirming for my own peace of mind that other items are working as it's supposed to.
