How to Choose the Right Spectrophotometer


A spectrophotometer measures light intensity as a function of wavelength. By measuring the spectrum of reflected and transmittance light, it allows a more precise determination of an object's color than with a colorimeter using three sensors (red, green, blue). Choosing a suitable spectrophotometer requires consideration Learn more>>.

Applications

This device is used in laboratory and quality-control applications to measure or test the color of an object, such as a textile, plastics, printing, painting, a food item, etc.

Technologies

Bench spectrophotometers are used in lab work, while portable models are found in field testing and measurement. The most common of the various possible measurement configurations are 0°/45°、D/8 geometry, supports both SCI & SCE, integrating sphere and multi-angle(Specifically designed for special effect samples).

FAQs About  Spectrophotometer

A colorimeter is sufficient for basic, routine color checks, while a spectrophotometer is needed for precise, comprehensive color analysis—here’s the clear breakdown:

When a Colorimeter is Sufficient

  1. Simple color matching needs: Ideal for checking if a sample matches a predefined standard (e.g., basic paint batches, plastic parts with solid colors).

  2. Consistent lighting conditions: Works well when measurements are done under fixed, standard light sources (no need to account for varied light effects).

  3. Cost-sensitive, high-volume tasks: Perfect for production lines requiring fast, low-cost color checks without advanced data analysis.

When to Use a Spectrophotometer

  1. Precise color quantification: Necessary for measuring Lab values (lightness, red-green, yellow-blue axes) or detecting subtle color deviations (critical for automotive coatings, high-end textiles).

  2. Complex color analysis: Required for metallic/pearlescent finishes, transparent materials, or samples with gloss/texture variations.

  3. Compliance and documentation: Essential when precise color data (spectral curves) is needed for quality audits, regulatory compliance, or brand color standardization.


To answer this question, you first need to clarify your specific needs: 

  • Is it for simple color quality control (QC)?

  • To coordinate with supply chain color management?

  • To monitor on-line color stability?

  • Do you require computer color matching or production color correction?

  • What is your budget?

  • Systematic supervision and evaluation of color performance in dyed products?

If you aren’t fully clear about your requirements at the initial stage, our color management engineers are ready to communicate with you. We will recommend solutions tailored to your needs. When conditions permit, we can provide prototype demonstrations and trial testing to ensure the instrument meets your practical application requirements.

The machine used to measure color is primarily called a colorimeter or spectrophotometer. 

Spectrophotometer: The most common and precise type. It analyzes light reflected/transmitted by an object across the visible spectrum to quantify color accurately. A spectrophotometer can measure colors on smooth or matte surfaces, as well as textured, glossy, mirror-like surfaces, and special effect colors. It measures the reflected light of a sample at a fixed angle (e.g., 45˚) or captures light reflected at all angles to calculate color measurements that closely match what the human eye perceives. Additionally, similar to how humans flip a sample to view colors from different angles, a spectrophotometer is suitable for measuring a variety of materials and surface characteristics. Widely used in industries like paint, textiles, plastics, Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, and printing. 

Colorimeter: Also called photoelectric integrating colorimeter, a simpler, more cost-effective option. It measures color based on three primary colors (RGB) and is suitable for basic color matching needs. A photoelectric integrating colorimeter is a color measurement device based on the photoelectric integration principle. It directly measures the tristimulus values XYZ of an object's color using three color filters (red, green, blue) and silicon photocells as three sensors. The color measurement principle of this instrument imitates the human eye's mechanism of perceiving the three primary colors (red, green, blue). It corrects the relative spectral sensitivity of the detector through color filters to match the CIE-recommended spectral tristimulus value functions x(λ), y(λ), and z(λ).

Spectrocolorimeter: Combines the functions of spectrophotometers and colorimeters, offering both spectral data and color space values for comprehensive analysis.
