Agera – HunterLab

Professional Color and Gloss Measurement

Agera spectrophotometer offers all-in-one functionality with simultaneous measurement of color in reflectance, 60 degree gloss measurement, image capture and integrated QC software. This colorimeter with circular 0°/45° geometry simulates human color perception according to the CIE standard valence system in a matter of seconds with absolute reliability and safety.

Versatile Applications

Suitable for plastics, granulates, powders, adhesives, cosmetics, textiles, pharmaceutical and bio-science products, foods and liquids. The Agera is the successor to the best-selling LabScan XE.

Key Features

With 0°/45° geometry that corresponds very precisely to the color impression that the human eye has of the sample. The integrated camera helps to place the sample precisely and to save a photo with the measurement data. EasyMatch QC Essentials quality control software is integrated into the device and provides all the required color indices and metrics.

Advanced Technology

With an illumination range of 360-700 nm, the Agera is also suitable for measuring optically brightened samples. The stand-alone device with a small footprint and touchscreen is easy to operate and provides safety thanks to long-lasting LED technology.
