METTLER TOLEDO UV Vis spectrophotometers measure color in transmittance in multiple color scales and numbers within seconds.
The combination of UV Vis and color analysis makes a separate colorimeter obsolete. Download the new "Basics of Color Measurement" guide for understanding color measurement and how METTLER TOLEDO's UV Vis spectrophotometers measure and report color values.
For similar samples, one number can be sufficient to express the color. Depending on the industry, different color numbers are established. METTLER TOLEDO spectrophotometers provide 30 built-in different color scales, among others:
With an InMotion™ autosampler, the measurement of large numbers of samples becomes a simple and safe task. The combination of an InMotion™ autosampler and an Excellence spectrophotometer enables efficient workflow automation. Maximum result accuracy and repeatability are achieved with minimal user attention.
EasyPlus UV/VIS spectrophotometers feature 30 pre-installed industry color scales.
A more detailed explanation of the different scales and color applications is given in the "Basics of Color Measurement" guide.
