Instruments
Compare our full range in one place: portable spectrophotometers for the production floor, benchtop spectrophotometers for the laboratory, and color difference meters for fast pass/fail checks. Every listed instrument shows clear specifications and pricing.
Three instrument formats
Each format is built around a different measurement environment, from the production floor to the color laboratory.
Production & field measurement
Handheld instruments for color measurement on production floors, at receiving inspection and across manufacturing sites.
Laboratory & formulation
High-precision laboratory instruments for reflectance, transmission and haze measurement, formulation and master standards.
Fast color difference checks
Compact instruments for fast ΔE color difference measurement, routine checks and clear pass/fail inspection.
01 / Portable spectrophotometers
Handheld grating spectrophotometers for repeatable color measurement on the production floor, at receiving inspection and in the field.
02 / Benchtop spectrophotometers
Benchtop systems that combine reflectance, transmission and haze measurement with multiple apertures for opaque, transparent and translucent materials.
03 / Color difference meters
Color difference meters are compact instruments for routine ΔE checks and clear pass/fail decisions at the line or in goods-in inspection. They suit teams that need a quick, consistent answer rather than full spectral data.
Color difference meters are not listed in the online shop. Tell us what you need to check and the tolerance you work to, and we will recommend a suitable meter.
Selection guide
The right choice starts with where you measure, the level of analysis required and how quickly operators need a clear result.
| Instrument format | Best for | Working environment | Typical applications | Buying guidance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portable Spectrophotometers | Flexible professional color measurement and production QC | Production floor, receiving inspection, field use | Coatings, plastics, textiles, print and manufactured components | Best all-round option for mobile industrial measurement |
| Benchtop Spectrophotometers | High-precision analysis, formulation and master standards | Laboratory, R&D and controlled QC environments | Color formulation, research, liquids, powders and advanced QC | Choose when repeatability and laboratory workflow are priorities |
| Color Difference Meters | Fast ΔE checks and simple pass/fail inspection | Production line, incoming goods and routine inspection | Spot checks, component matching and operator-led QC | Choose for straightforward color difference decisions |
