Our UV measuring device SMU (FUV-001) is a handy and affordable UV meter that, in conjunction with the corresponding app, turns any smartphone (Android Google or iOS Apple) into a smart UVA / UVB measuring device & detector.

The small shapely aluminium add-on sensor (10x30mm) is simply plugged into the headphone jack of the smartphone, the app loaded (search term FTLAB in the Play Store / App Store) and the measured values can be easily recorded and read. When not in use, the measuring sensor fits into any trouser pocket.

Ultraviolet radiation is more intense today than ever before due to the decrease in ozone levels in the stratosphere. It is estimated that each percent of ozone loss results in a 2% increase in UVB radiation on the surface of the earth and thereby a 3% increase in skin cancer. This means that even 10 minutes of unprotected sunshine can cause irreversible damage to the genome. A doubling of skin cancer cases in recent years has been recorded, although more and more preventive measures are being taken. But also the cataract on the eye, the weakening of the immune system by impairing the formation of endogenous T-cells or premature aging of the skin are just a few examples of the negative effects of UV radiation.

With our UV measuring device you can recognize and avoid these dangers.
