The benchtop color 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 photospectrometer is easily controlled within 0.01, and the inter-instrument errorΔE*ab is controlled within 0.25. The data is stable and reliable, and can be used for accurate color analysis and transmission in the laboratory.

The TS8216 measurement instrument can achieve precise color consistency in design inspiration, formulation, production, and quality control. The multi-aperture design of this integrating sphere benchtop spectrophotometer enables it to measure complex samples, supporting both reflection and transmission measurements. It can perform rapid, simultaneous SPIN/SPEX measurements to determine the gloss level of samples. Additionally, the product is equipped with a digital label that includes device status, sample images, and measurement parameters for each sample measurement. Its multi-aperture design allows for measuring complex samples and supports both reflection and transmission measurements.
