It is critical to maintain product safety and to meet compliance with global quality standards. Photostability chamber is a special kind of device designed to test medicines, cosmetics and paints react when exposed to light. This basically done for knowing it reaction when they come into sunlight and ultraviolet radiation. It combines temperature and humidity control with specialized light sources like UV and fluorescent lamps to recreate real world conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, it for testing purpose for manufacturer of these products, before going into production they first test their products by creating the environment, it help them to know whether their products are losing color or loose effectiveness, or degrade when left out in the light for a while. just like how a book\u2019s pages can turn yellow or a cream might lose potency on a sunny windowsill.
