NR20XE colorimeter is one type of colorimetric measuring instruments used to capture, analyse, and communicate color. Discover the next - generation handheld color measurement tool, This innovative solution empowers you to accurately understand, control, and communicate color throughout every stage of the workflow. NR20XE with an intuitive touchscreen for precise, fast, and reliable determination of natural samples color.
When testing products such as meat measurement by ordinary colorimeter, the whole instrument body has to be placed in the object which not only stains the instrument, but also will let the liquid/water enter the instrument directly and bring cross contamination. However, NR20XE is a vertical structure. When measuring, it can make sure only the aperture touches the object which will not stain the instrument body.

FAQs About NR20XE Colorimeter
Threenh Technology colorimeters provide a color deviation prompt function according to the Lab value, which can provide a reference for color matching. The handheld colorimeter can only indicate blacker, whiter, redder, greener, yellower or bluer, but it cannot provide accurate color formulas. Only with the help of a spectrophotometer and professional color matching software can fully realized automated color matching.
When evaluating the accuracy of a colorimeter, repeatability is a key parameter.
The repeatability standard deviation ΔE*ab of 3nh colorimeters is within 0.03 (measured under the following conditions: after preheating and calibration, measure the white calibration tile 30 times at 3-second intervals and take the average). This figure is superior to all other similar color measurement instruments.
Each of our instruments undergoes rigorous factory inspection and calibration before delivery. In addition, 3nh colorimeters are guaranteed to pass the metrological certification issued by official metrology institutes.
At most of time, we have stock in the factory. Generally it is 1-3 working days after the payment confirmed. After shipped, we will email you the tracking number. You can check the shipping status of your order on the website. If you are in urgent need, we can consider making special arrangement for you.
For paint formulation accuracy, the 3NH top spectrophotometers prioritize high spectral resolution, excellent repeatability, superior inter-instrument agreement (IIA), d/8° integrating sphere design, and compatibility with advanced formulation software. Below are the leading models

Best for: Automotive, specialty coatings
All these instruments deliver superior performance by measuring precise spectral data, which is the foundation for accurate, repeatable, and cost-saving paint formulation.
Since part of the light will pass through the light-transmitting materials, the colorimeter is not suitable for color measurement of such kinds of materials; however, when place a pure color material with uniform texture under the light-transmitting material, we can measure the color difference between the standard and the sample.
