HunterLab Unveils Agera® L2: The Next Era in Color Measurement Innovation

The world of color measurement is set to witness a significant advancement with the introduction of HunterLab’s Agera® L2 spectral photometer/c reflectometer. This state-of-the-art device is specifically engineered to ensure visual alignment and maintains strict tolerances necessary for industries where color precision is paramount.

Making its debut on January 6, 2026, the Agera® L2 is a highly reliable solution aimed at various applications including plastics, packaging, textiles, coatings, pharmaceuticals, and many others. This new addition aims to provide visually correlated measurements, whether or not a controlled D65 viewing environment is available.

Key Features of Agera® L2

The Agera L2 stands out due to its exceptional design and functionality, tailored for efficiency and accuracy in challenging settings. Here are some of its notable features:

1. Designed for Strict Compliance: The device’s 0°/45° circumferential instrument is particularly designed for critical industries where color consistency is essential.

2. User-Friendly Interface: The Essentials L2 software introduces a streamlined interface that simplifies operator experience, allowing for quick decision-making with minimal training required.

3. Integrated PC Power Supply: The Agera L2 operates as a standalone workstation featuring in-built processing and storage capabilities for recording over four million measurements.

4. True D65 Daylight Illumination: The instrument uses a CIE D65 certified illumination source, guaranteeing consistent visual precision across various operational environments.

5. Enhanced Performance on Dark Samples: It boasts a six-fold improvement in precision and visual correlation for samples with reflectance below 20%, ensuring accurate readings where they are often difficult to obtain.

6. Fluorescent Material Accuracy: Thanks to its controlled UV calibration, the Agera L2 delivers reliable measurements on retroreflective and optically brightened materials.

7. Extra-Large Viewing Area: The device features the largest measurement area available in the industry—up to sixteen times larger than typical instruments—making it ideal for assessing textured and directional materials.

8. Sample View Camera and On-Screen Recording: Operators can confirm sample alignment, capture images, and document data for traceability and training purposes, further enhancing the instrument's utility.

9. Simultaneous Color and Brightness Measurement: The Agera L2 provides simultaneous readings for color and brightness at a 60° angle, optimizing workflow efficiency.

10. Robust Design for Real-World Reliability: The sealed optical engine inside the Agera L2 is built to withstand various environmental factors like dust and spills, ensuring longevity and dependability in challenging settings.

11. Advanced Data Communication and Export: With Ethernet, USB, and HDMI connectivity, the device seamlessly integrates with Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and Statistical Process Control (SPC) systems, facilitating smooth data exchange.

Bob Weaver, CEO of HunterLab, states, "For decades, HunterLab has defined what it means to have accurate color measurement. With the launch of Agera L2, we are raising that standard yet again, establishing a new benchmark in color precision by aligning instrument data with human vision, even in the most demanding applications."

This next-generation measurement tool empowers quality teams worldwide, ensuring they can capture, quantify, and interpret color data with unprecedented accuracy. It not only helps maintain consistency and comply with rigorous standards but also aids in reducing waste and enhancing productivity.
