FAQs About PS2020 Spectrocolorimeter
A colorimeter is sufficient when measuring similar materials or batches with stable conditions. Suitable for fast, low-cost color checks where high precision is not required. Quick quality control in plastics, paint batch consistency, food color grading (e.g., fruit ripeness), and basic printing checks.
A spectrophotometer is recommended when you need professional, maximum color accuracy or when testing materials with variable surfaces – such as glossy or textured samples. Like textile dye formulation, cosmetic shade matching, medical device color calibration, high-end printing (e.g., packaging for luxury goods), and material spectral research. learn more Understanding Spectrophotometric Parameter Measurement
To quantify color change, take the original L*a*b* values of a sample, and reread after exposure or processing. Compute the difference as 1/2(Emut1 Emut2). The larger the value of ΔE, the more obvious the change of color is, which can be used in quality or stability testing.
The most important equation is A = 2εcl, where A is the absorbance, 2 is a constant, ε is the molar absorptivity (L/mol cm), c is the concentration (molL-11), and l is the path length (cm). This can be used to relate the absorbance to the concentration, allowing quantification through colorimetric assays.
The accuracy of colors is determined by comparing the values of the colors (L*a*b*) of a sample with a standard reference sample using tools such as spectrophotometers. The variation is measured as ΔE. The smaller the value of ΔE, the more accurate, the nearer to the target color.
The various colors can be measured by the way a surface reflects, absorbs, or transmits light at different wavelengths. These responses may be measured using instruments such as colorimeters or spectrophotometers to give numeric values in a standardized color space such as L *a*b*.
