SC-T85 Benchtop High-Precision Spectrophotometer

Benchtop high-precision spectrophotometer for laboratory-grade colour management.

• Repeatability ΔE*ab ≤ 0.018
• 256-pixel dual-array CMOS sensor
• Full-spectrum LED plus UV

The SC-T85 carries forward our core spectroscopic technology and supports both D/8 and D/0 optical paths, combining laboratory-grade accuracy with wide sample adaptability — the benchmark for benchtop colour management.

It is fitted with a 154 mm integrating sphere and a 256-pixel dual-array CMOS image sensor. Repeatability is held within ΔE*ab 0.018 and inter-instrument agreement within ΔE*ab 0.24. It supports reflectance and transmittance as well as SCI/SCE measurement, covering opaque, transparent, semi-transparent and fluorescent samples. Widely used in plastics and electronics, chemical coatings, printing inks, textile dyeing, automotive electronics, medical analysis, cosmetics and food analysis, as well as in research institutes and laboratory pharmaceutical analysis.

Features

1. High-performance dual-array image sensor — a 256-pixel dual-array CMOS sensor with high sensitivity delivers high accuracy and repeatability across a wide spectral response range.
2. Comprehensive measurement — the internationally accepted D/8 and D/0 dual optical path structure supports SCI/SCE and reflectance/transmittance measurement for opaque, transparent, semi-transparent and fluorescent samples.
3. Combined LED and UV light source — full-spectrum LED plus UV covering 360–780 nm, including UV, 400 nm cut-off, 420 nm cut-off and 460 nm cut-off sources, giving sufficient spectral distribution and more professional UV testing.
4. Multiple measurement orientations — side, upward and downward measurement (the last with an optional inverted bracket), which greatly improves convenience and flexibility.
5. Open transmission compartment — measures transmission samples up to 54 mm thick, so even large samples are handled easily.
6. Automatic aperture recognition — four apertures of 25.4 mm, 15 mm, 8 mm and 4 mm. The user configures the aperture and lens position as needed, which is both flexible and intelligent.
7. Rich chromaticity indices — besides common colour metrics, it offers haze, transmittance, petroleum colour scale (ASTM D1500), yellowness, whiteness, platinum-cobalt index, Gardner index, Saybolt index, blackness and hue.
8. Ten colour spaces and 41 observation light sources — CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, CIE LUV, s-RGB, HunterLab, DIN Lab99 and Munsell, plus D65, A, C, D50, D55, D75, F1, F2 (CWF) and others, 41 in total (some via PC software).
9. Live camera viewfinder — a built-in camera locates the measuring point so you can confirm the target centre, improving efficiency and accuracy.
10. Good repeatability and inter-instrument agreement — repeatability ΔE*ab ≤ 0.018 and inter-instrument agreement ΔE*ab ≤ 0.24 keep data consistent across units, making sample data transfer between partners straightforward.
11. Independent light source detector — monitors the light source continuously, ensuring a reliable source and dependable test data.
12. Practical, thoughtful design — a damped clamp protects the sample, and a spring-loaded drawer stores accessories and small samples.
13. Colour management software for extended functions — SQCX quality management software suits quality monitoring and colour data management across industries. It digitises colour, compares colour differences, generates test reports and provides measurement data in multiple colour spaces for customised colour management.
