Coloromat®
Spectrophotometer for Color Measurement
The Coloromat allows an easy and reliable color measurement of liquids. The Coloromat is equipped with a continuous measuring mode with free configurable sampling rate for monitoring color changes in product streams. Transmission, extinction, and ICUMSA liquid color units at the recommended standard wavelength 420 nm are standard with this product.
More about this product
Checkpoints
- Measurement of transmission/extinction
- Color determination of liquid samples
- Up to nine fixed wavelengths
- Polarimeter tubes up to 100 mm
- Integrated ICUMSA methods
Easy in Use
The touch screen is used for soft key functions and alphanumerical inputs which allow easy handling for example batch name, user, etc. The wavelengths are selected via the touch screen. Three wavelengths are pre-installed as standards, but the Coloromat 100 can optionally be equipped with six further customized wavelengths, allowing for a wide range of applications. Due to the generous dimensions of the sample chamber the use of polarimeter flow-through tubes up to 100 mm as standard cuvettes allows easy filling and a high throughput.
The sample compartment is open to the top and the bottom preventing pillage from entering the unit. Due to its unique optical design the Coloromat 100 is not affected by stray light.
The general operating software contained in the flash memory can be updated by PC (data file downloaded from Internet or CD ROM) and has capacity for 250 pre-programmed tests. Up to 230 tests can be stored in the RAM. The import of data by touch screen or PC are possible. Additionally, up to 2970 results of max. 99 samples can be managed in the memory.
