01
Combined measurement modes
Evaluate reflectance, transmittance and haze in one system rather than moving between separate instruments.
Laboratory & production color control
Benchtop spectrophotometers for demanding color decisions
Bring reflectance, transmission and haze measurement into one controlled laboratory workflow. Benchtop spectrophotometers give quality teams the capability, sample handling and data tools required for rigorous color control.
Built for complex samples
Measure more than surface color
A benchtop spectrophotometer is the practical choice when color control requires more controlled sample handling, multiple apertures, transmission analysis or haze measurement. It supports repeatable laboratory and production workflows across opaque, transparent and translucent materials.
02
Flexible sample capability
Use multiple apertures and an open transmission chamber to work with different sample sizes and material types.
03
Traceable quality decisions
Use spectral data, pass/fail assessment, onboard storage and audit-trail support to strengthen quality-control records.
Available models
Two complete benchtop platforms
Explore both benchtop models and their reflectance, transmission and haze measurement capability.
Professional benchtop system
SD-900B Benchtop Spectrophotometer
US$16,995.00
The SD-900B is a high-precision benchtop spectrophotometer for reflectance, transmittance and haze measurement. Its dual LED/UV plus xenon light-source system supports demanding color-control workflows, including improved recognition of fluorescent samples according to the supplied specification.
- Reflectance, transmittance and haze measurement in one benchtop system
- 360–780 nm spectral range with d/8 reflectance and d/0 transmission geometry
- Four automatic apertures, UV control, camera positioning and 32 GB onboard storage
Professional benchtop system
SD-800B Benchtop Spectrophotometer
US$8,995.00
The SD-800B is a professional benchtop spectrophotometer for reflectance, transmittance and haze measurement. It combines d/8 and d/0 geometry, SCI/SCE, UV-included and UV-excluded modes, four automatic apertures, camera positioning and a 7-inch rotatable touchscreen.

Compare the models
Choose the right benchtop instrument
| Key difference | SD-800B | SD-900B |
|---|---|---|
| Price | US$8,995 | US$16,995 |
| Light-source system | Full-spectrum LED with UV control | Full-spectrum LED with UV control, plus a xenon lamp |
| Brightened or fluorescent materials | Suitable for normal UV-included and UV-excluded checks | The stronger choice when fluorescent response matters; the xenon source improves recognition |
| Repeatability (lower is better) | Very high — ΔE ≤ 0.015 | Highest in the range — ΔE ≤ 0.01 |
| Agreement across multiple instruments | ΔE ≤ 0.15 | Tighter matching between units — ΔE ≤ 0.10 |
| Best fit | Most labs and production teams needing full reflectance, transmission and haze capability | Demanding or multi-site quality programmes, especially where fluorescent materials and the tightest consistency matter |
Both models measure reflectance, transmission and haze, with four automatic apertures, UV-included and UV-excluded modes, camera positioning, a 7-inch touchscreen and 32 GB storage. Repeatability shows how closely one instrument repeats a reading; agreement across instruments matters when several units must produce closely matched results.
Choose with confidence
Match the instrument to the workflow
The right benchtop configuration depends on the materials you measure, whether transmission or haze is required, the smallest sample area, and the tolerances your team must maintain.
