Key Highlights
256-element linear CCD sensor
Reflection and Transmission test
Industrial-grade 7-inch high-definition touch screen
D/8 geometry (SCI/SCE) complies with international standards (CIE No.15, ASTM E1164, etc.)

The benchtop spectrophotometer TS8216 is a color photospectrometer developed by 3nh using its own core technology of spectroscopy. It uses a dual-array CMOS image sensor with higher sensitivity and a wider spectral response range, and the test is more accurate. The repeatability ΔE*ab of the TS8216 benchtop spectrophotometer is easily controlled within 0.01, and the inter-instrument errorΔE*ab is controlled within 0.12. The data is stable and reliable, and can be used for accurate color analysis and transmission in the laboratory.
TS8216 benchtop spectrophotometer provides reflection: Φ0.3mm/Φ0.5mm/Φ1mm (only choose one aperture) Transmission: Φ8mm/Φ4mm (only choose one aperture), used for small area reflection samples and small volume transmission samples chromaticity control.
The TS8216 benchtop spectrophotometer adopts the internationally applicable D/8 illumination observation conditions, SCI/SCE (including specular reflection/not including specular reflection) synthesis technology, and supports SCI+SCE simultaneous rapid measurement.
With high sensitivity and wide spectral response range, it ensures the measurement speed, accuracy, stability and consistency of the instrument.
TS8216 benchtop spectrophotometer provides CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, CIE LUV, Musell, s-RGB, HunterLab, βxy, DIN Lab99 color space, as well as D65,A,C,D50,D55,D75,F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6,F7,F8,F9,F10,F11,F12,CWF,DLF,TL83,TL84,TPL5,U30 multiple observation light sources, which can meet the special measurement requirements under different measurement conditions.
The full-band balanced LED light source ensures sufficient spectral distribution in the visible light range, avoids the lack of spectrum of white light LEDs in specific wavelength bands, and ensures the measurement speed of the instrument and the accuracy of the measurement results. Professional UV light sources ensure UV testing more reliable.
Using a 7-inch industrial-grade high-definition touch screen, the control is smooth, and the easy-to-use user interface makes the operation comfortable, convenient and easier to use.
The SQCX quality management software matched with the TS8216 benchtop spectrophotometer is suitable for quality monitoring and color data management in various industries. Data the user's color management, compare color differences, generate test reports, provide a variety of color space measurement data, and customize customer color management.

A colorimeter or spectrophotometer should be used to measure the color of a solution. The instrument directs light through the liquid and quantifies absorbance at certain wavelengths. The values obtained indicate the color intensity of the solution and, by default, the concentration of the solution.
