Xenotest® 220 and 220+
The Atlas® Xenotest® 220 is the result of more than 50 years of experience in the design and manufacturing of xenon test instruments for
lightfastness testing of textiles and related materials like leather and paper. From the introduction of the first Xenotest 150 in 1954 through today, Atlas has always collaborated with the global textile industry to continuously improve reliability, product performance and ease of use in the Xenotest product line.
Xenotest 220 combines Atlas’ proven xenon test chamber design with state-of the-art controls resulting in long-lasting reliability day after day, essential to each laboratory. Within the Atlas Xenotest series, 220 holds the position of the pure lightfastness specialist next to the more advanced 150 S+ and Alpha+ models. A specialist for economical lightfastness testing in line with the common industry standards.
The Xenotest 220 and 220+ use ir-cooled, long-lasting 2200W low-pressure xenon arc lamps. A XENOSENSIV® sensor controls both irradiance and temperature on the sample rack.
New practical quick-insertion sample holders for both thin and thick samples that work without screws, saving time and efforts.
- Two non-aging filter systems for ISO 105-B02 and AATCC TM16 testing saving time and efforts vs originally used absorption filter systems, which needed changing routine every 500 hours.
- 200 and 220+ offer multiple languages; Asian and European to make programming easy for everybody
- Pre-programmed standards for Quick-Start, plus space for several custom test programs
- As a highlight 220+ comes with ready installed XenoTouch Add-ons enabling users to go online with 220+ (Remote Control, E-Mail Service, Online Monitoring).
Atlas’ clients will further benefit strongly from the economic test chamber and proven controls:
- Approx. double the capacity of an Alpha+ or 150 S+ at same footprint (38 samples vs. 22)
- Excellent test chamber uniformity of ±4% due to proven on-rack XENOSENSIV Irr and BST monitor
