UltraScan PRO

Color Meter For Measuring Reflected Color

UltraScan PRO is an instrument that measures both reflected and transmitted color with the highest accuracy, following CIE, ASTM, and USP guidelines. Its exceptional 5 nm optical resolution makes it capable of precisely measuring colors of colorants with distinct cutoff characteristics.

Measures reflectance & transmittance color as well as spectral reflectance, spectral transmittance and transmission haze

5 nm optical resolution and reporting interval

Three reflectance measurement areas

Exceptional inter-instrument agreement

Automated UV calibration and control

Large transmission compartment open on three sides

Includes EasyMatch QC software
