SC-R8 Intelligent Spectrophotometer

Intelligent spectrophotometer for colour management across multiple scenarios.

• Repeatability ΔE*ab ≤ 0.04
• Dual 32-array silicon photodiode sensor
• 8 mm and 4 mm apertures
• Bluetooth wireless connection

The SC-R8 combines a spectrophotometer and a colour difference meter in one unit, which saves effort and cost. It brings together high accuracy, high performance and strong value for money.

The SC-R8 Professional is a portable colour meter built on our own spectroscopic core technology. It uses a built-in silicon photodiode array (dual 32 groups) sensor and an imported white calibration tile, holding repeatability within ΔE*ab 0.04. Its strong configuration and excellent inter-instrument agreement make colour measurement more professional while keeping data consistent across multiple units. It also balances measuring speed with ease of operation: colour can be managed from PC software, or the instrument connects seamlessly to a phone over Bluetooth, which greatly extends where it can be used.

Features

1. Full-band balanced LED light source — ensures sufficient spectral distribution across the visible range and avoids the spectral gaps of white LEDs at certain wavelengths, keeping measurement fast and accurate.
2. Silicon photodiode array (dual 32 groups) sensor — a larger sensing area that does not saturate under strong light, with higher sensitivity to weak light and a wider spectral response, guaranteeing speed, accuracy, stability and consistency.
3. Grating spectroscopic technology — higher resolution for more precise colour measurement.
4. A rest base keeps the white calibration tile clean.
5. Professional grade white calibration tile, guaranteed not to change colour over time.
6. Fast charging — a dedicated fast charge method. Recharge when the low-voltage warning appears, or charge outside working hours, to preserve battery capacity and life. Frequent repeated charging shortens battery life.
7. Ergonomic, modern design — the grip and the measure button positions are carefully worked out to suit different holding habits, with a smooth, fine surface finish.
8. Single custom measuring aperture — the SC-R8 Professional can be specified with an 8 mm or 4 mm platform aperture to match your sample.
9. Large built-in colour card database — stores 500 standards and 10,000 samples on the instrument, with mass storage synced in the app, so colour data can be searched and compared quickly. Build your private colour database in the cloud with the app and find the closest colour from multiple colour cards anywhere, without carrying heavy swatch books.
10. Excellent inter-instrument agreement and repeatability keep data consistent across multiple devices.
11. Multiple data display modes — reflectance at three user-specified wavelengths, sample chromaticity values, colour difference values and graphs, pass/fail results, colour simulation and colour deviation, all shown clearly to speed up work.
12. Use it however you like — standalone with a 3.5 inch true colour screen, with SQCX quality management software for quality monitoring and colour data management, or with the app for data sync.
