I am in need of UV lamps (UVA/UVB/UVC) and UV chamber that can be used inside a biosafety cabinet for cell culture studies. The lamp needs to be compact and the chamber needs to be a closed one, for safety concerns.
I have found a very good company in Germany

Anyone working in UV can have a look at their website for your specific needs
It all depends on the irradiance needed and area to illuminate. If you can use LEDs, then it should be easier to drive them on battery power if you need to. You should also consider what kind of spectrum you need. With most LEDs the spectrum has only one peak, much wider than that of a laser, but still much narrower than with a lamp. With lamps you are likely to need to remove unwanted wavelengths with a filter. If you need pure UV, be careful as even some LEDs with peak of emission at 365 nm do emit visible up to 600 nm or so. It depends on the type and how good is the spectrometer you use to measure spectral irradiance. SeTI makes different types of UV LEDs. I guess you have a way of measuring the UV radiation. Unless you have a thermopile rated to be used in the UV, any other broadband sensor calibration is specific to the light source. Best, of course, is to use a good spectroradiometer.
