Color & Appearance Measurement Products

A color spectrophotometer is a specialized type of spectrophotometer used to measure and quantify the color appearance of objects or substances. It works by capturing and evaluating how light is absorbed or reflected different wavelengths, providing precise color measurements. Learn more from our ultimate guide on spectrophotometers.

There are two main types of spectrophotometers:

Reflectance: Used for opaque to semi-translucent samples. Light is reflected from the sample and back to the instrument optics.

Transmittance: Used for transparent to translucent samples. Light is passed through the sample and collected on the other side by the optics.

Color spectrophotometers scientifically measure the color of everything from liquids to powders and solids.

At HunterLab, we specialize in providing advanced color spectrophotometers designed to meet the diverse needs of various industries. Our state-of-the-art instruments ensure precise color measurement and quality control, making them indispensable tools for businesses aiming to achieve consistent and reliable results.

You can choose a color spectrophotometer depending on the substrate you are measuring the color of, whether it is opaque, translucent or transparent. In short, you can consider the following factors for choosing the right HunterLab spectrophotometer for your needs: Sample Opacity, Physical Form, Optical Properties needed, Measurement Methods required, Scales and Indices needed, Instrument Standards Conformance (ASTM/ISO/Other), Instrument Geometry, Instrument Performance, Location (laboratory, portability, in-process) and Sample Handling requirements.

This simply depends on the hazardous nature of the sample.

It is always best practice to have the manufacturer certify the instrument’s calibration once per year.
