Abstract | BACKGROUND: OBJECTIVES: METHODS:
Flurandrenolide tape was applied to quartz spectroscopy cuvettes, and the absorption spectrum was determined using a Beckman DU-600 spectrophotometer. The effect of the tape on UV light transmission was also determined using our UVA-UVB office phototherapy unit. RESULTS:
Flurandrenolide tape has considerable UV absorption in the UVC range with less absorption in the UVB and UVA range. The transmittance is greater (less absorption) with longer wavelengths. There was greater UV absorption in the UVB range than in the UVA range. CONCLUSION:
