Description
Overview
GAOTek benchtop colorimeter transmittance is a high-end precise instrument for surface colour measurement and management, which can be widely applied in all kinds of industries, such as plastics, metals, paint and coating, furniture, wood, ink, printing and packaging, pharmacy, cosmetics, fabrics, textiles and garments, electronics, tiles and decoration industry. In one word, GAOTek benchtop colorimeter transmittance can be perfectly applied in any place that requires colour control or colour management. With high-precision capabilities and great reliability, GAOTek benchtop colorimeter transmittance allows users to effectively analyser, formulate, and control the colour and appearance of solids, liquids, pastes, powders, pills, and granules in a more comprehensive, streamlined process. Using Optical Geometry (Reflective: d or 8° and Transmissive: d or 0°) and specular mode SCI&SCE or SPIN & SPEX, they all make the CM-5 ideal for colour analysis within R&D and laboratory environments.
