Benchtop spectrophotometer Spectro 1000

Spectro 1000: The Gold Standard Spectrophotometer for the Medical Industry

In the medical field, color accuracy is critical to ensuring the quality and compliance of medical equipment and devices. The Datacolor Spectro 1000 is a benchtop spectrophotometer designed to provide rigorous color analysis in biomedical, pharmaceutical, and hospital applications. It enables optimal quality control of materials used in surgical instruments, implants, prosthetics, diagnostic equipment, and medical imaging.

With tight tolerances and unmatched inter-instrument correlation, the Spectro 1000 ensures perfect color consistency across multiple production sites and throughout the supply chain. It provides accurate measurement of color shades and deviations, reducing the risk of inconsistencies in medical devices where precision is critical.

Its  optical system, based on a dual-array SPX monochromator with 256 diodes, ensures precise and reliable color reading, essential for testing antibacterial coatings, medical plastics, and hospital textiles. Equipped with a pulsed xenon light source reproducing D65 light, it guarantees stable and reproducible results, even under the most demanding conditions.

The Spectro 1000 is equipped with a positioning camera, an intuitive LCD display, and a sample temperature measurement system, providing increased control and reducing errors. Its automatic UV calibration and intelligent aperture detection ensure optimal measurements, compliant with the strictest medical standards.

Thanks to its backward compatibility with other Datacolor spectrophotometers, it integrates easily into laboratories and medical production centers, optimizing workflows and reducing compliance costs. Available in several configurations, it meets the specific needs of the sector:
