Colorimeter Spectro Color d-8

Spectro Color d-8 – Precision Spectral Colorimeter for Professional Measurement

The Spectro Color d-8 by Hach Lange is a cutting-edge colorimeter designed for precise color measurement and analysis in various professional fields, including medical, industrial, and laboratory environments. Utilizing the spectral method according to DIN 5033 standards, this device offers exceptional accuracy and reproducibility in color evaluation, making it an indispensable tool for professionals who require reliable and consistent results.

This colorimeter operates using d/8° circular viewing geometry, a method that illuminates the sample with polychromatic light while the optical unit observes the reflected light at an 8° angle relative to the sample surface. This configuration ensures highly accurate measurements, capturing the entire visible spectrum from 400nm to 700nm at 10nm intervals. The Spectro Color d-8 is equipped with a special reference beam system, which guarantees the reproducibility of measurements, thus enhancing the reliability of your results.

The device features a digital display that clearly presents all measured values, which can be stored in its internal memory capable of holding up to 1000 samples. For in-depth data analysis, the results can be easily transferred to a PC via an interface, with optional software available for comprehensive evaluation, including individual measurements, comparative measurements, or detailed statistical analyses presented in list or graphical formats.

A notable feature of the Spectro Color d-8 is its compatibility with a wide range of international colorimetric standards. Users can choose from several standard observers (2° and 10°) and illuminants (D65, A, C, F2, F11/TL84) to ensure that measurements are conducted under the most appropriate conditions for their specific needs. The colorimeter also offers color and color difference measurement capabilities, providing users with a deep understanding of color variations and consistency across different samples.

The Spectro Color d-8 is designed to be practical and portable, with compact dimensions of 210 x 40 x 85mm and a lightweight design of only 520g, including rechargeable batteries. It is powered by four AA Mignon-type Ni-MH 1.2V batteries, ensuring long-lasting performance without the need for frequent recharging. The device also includes a certified black/white calibration standard in accordance with DIN 5033, allowing for easy and precise calibration before each use.

This colorimeter is an ideal choice for professionals seeking a reliable and versatile tool for color measurement. Whether in the field or the laboratory, the Spectro Color d-8 delivers consistent, accurate results that can be easily documented and analyzed, making it an essential instrument for ensuring color quality and consistency.
