Features

The new S-SERIES II is the result of Agtron’s 50 years of experience supplying analytical equipment to the food industry. It is a reflectance measuring abridged spectrophotometer designed specifically to deal with the challenge of measuring color and process related change associated with food products. It is an all solid-state replacement for the previous Agtron M-45D general application small area analyzer.

Applications
Agtron analyzers have become the quality control standard for a variety of products worldwide. The S-SERIES II is suited for appearance and color measurement of a wide range of color homogenous and color semi-homogenous products including but not limited to flour, grains, nuts, fruit concentrates and juices, powders, spices, seasoning, sauces, paste, condiments, liquids, and small particulate items.

Operation
Four Color Reflectance Mode (red-yellow-green-blue): Provides a numeric score for each of four color bands that represent the visible spectrum simultaneously

Single Color Reflectance Mode: Displays a user selected color-band as a numeric score

Appearance Mode: Uses the four visible color-bands and provides a single score calculated with perception bias. This score relates to how product color is perceived by the human eye.

Brightness Mode: Uses the full color spectrum to determine the perceived lightness/darkness of a product
