UltraScan PRO
The UltraScan PRO measures both reflected and transmitted color and meets CIE, ASTM and USP guidelines for accurate color measurement. The instrument scans from 350 nm to 1,050 nm in seconds and its 5-nm optical resolution enables precise measurement of colors with sharp cutoff characteristics. The D65 illumination source is calibrated in the ultraviolet region for the accurate measurement of whitening agents. In addition to color and spectral data, metrics such as APHA (Hazen), Saybolt, Gardner Scale, ASTM D 1500, Yellowness Index, Whiteness Index and Transmission Haze can be quantified. UltraScan PRO uses diffuse 8-deg geometry with automated specular component inclusion/exclusion. It also features three sizes of sample measurement areas with automated lens changing, and it includes EasyMatch QC software. Designed to be a reference instrument, it is ideal for research and quality control applications in both laboratory and production environments.

UltraScan VIS
The UltraScan VIS is a high-performance color measurement spectrophotometer that measures the full range of human color perception in seconds. It easily measures both reflected and transmitted color as well as transmission haze, and meets CIE, ASTM and USP guidelines for accurate color measurement. Spectral data are reported every 10 nm and tristimulus color calculations are performed from 360 to 780 nm as recommended by the CIE. In addition to color and spectral data, metrics such as APHA (Hazen), Saybolt, Gardner Scale, ASTM D 1500, Yellowness Index, and Whiteness Index can be quantified. For transmission measurement, the instrument’s spherical geometry virtually eliminates errors introduced by sample turbidity and haze. UltraScan VIS includes EasyMatch QC software and is ideal for research and quality control applications in laboratory and production environments.

MiniScan EZ
The MiniScan EZ is a portable color-measurement instrument that can take product color readings on the plant floor, the production line and outdoors. Its lightweight (2.25 lb), ergonomic design features a rubberized handle for sure-handed carrying that virtually eliminates user fatigue when measuring a large number of samples. Measurements can be stored in memory for later printout or download to a PC. Other features include excellent measurement repeatability and agreement between multiple instruments, the ability to take thousands of measurements using standard AA batteries, and a button pad for thumb-tip navigation of all functions.
