View our latest version of this instrument, the CM-25cG
Recognized as the industry leader of its kind, the CM-2500c Spectrophotometer is a portable 45/0 instrument built to measure the color of samples with stability and unwavering performance. This instrument’s innovative optical system captures the entirety of a sample’s color at any angle or position, enabling users to precisely evaluate, reproduce, and control the color of materials with uneven, curved, or textured surfaces. Its advanced capabilities help to define color specifications, determine if a sample meets the standard, and maintain consistency in each batch of material more efficiently. This makes the CM-2500c ideal for R&D analysis, quality control inspections, and process control procedures.
The CM-2500c Spectrophotometer is compatible with SpectraMagic NX software to record measurements and provide a more comprehensive color analysis.
