HunterLab Introduces Agera® L2 Spectrophotometer

HunterLab® has officially rolled out the Agera® L2, a state-of-the-art spectrophotometer designed to meet the stringent demands for precise color measurement. This innovative tool is built to ensure visual compliance and provide strict tolerances essential for a variety of applications across numerous industries.

Exceptional Versatility

The Agera L2 serves as the perfect color measurement solution for sectors such as plastics, plastic recycling, packaging, retroreflective and safety materials, textiles, coatings, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and papermaking. It excels particularly in measuring materials that reflect 20% or less, thereby broadening its usability in critical areas where precise color evaluation is paramount.

Accurate Measurements, Anytime, Anywhere

One of the standout features of the Agera L2 is its ability to deliver visually aligned measurements, whether or not it is used in a controlled D65 viewing environment. This flexibility significantly reduces the barriers to obtaining accurate color assessments, ensuring that quality control teams can operate effectively in various settings.

Bob Weaver, the President of HunterLab, commented, "For decades, HunterLab has set the standard for precise color measurement. With the Agera L2, we are raising the bar even higher, establishing a new benchmark in color accuracy by aligning instrument data with human visual perception, even in the most challenging applications. This reference-grade spectrophotometer provides reliable performance that quality teams can trust, whether they are in laboratories, on production floors, or located worldwide."
