Ametra Clear Portable Transmittance Spectrophotometer I Haze Meter
Product Overview
Lightweight Portable Transmission Spectrophotometer & Haze Meter: Measure transparent and translucent samples anywhere. Traditionally, measuring transparent and translucent objects like glass, film, and liquids required bulky, stationary, expensive benchtop spectrophotometers. This limited where and when you could perform quality control on these materials.
The Ametra Clear Portable Transmittance Spectrophotometer | Haze Meter is a lightweight, portable transmission spectrophotometer designed to operate seamlessly in the lab, directly on the production line, or out in the field.
Target Audience
- Color matchers & color matching technicians
- Colorists & tint specialists
- Color quality control technicians & engineers
- Manufacturing quality engineers with color focus
- Color development & lab technicians
- Shade matchers & technical service specialists
Core Capabilities
- Measure glass, plastic film, and liquid samples using bundled cuvettes
- Accurately determine color, total transmittance (%T), and haze
- Store standards and conduct instant sample comparisons
- Set customized control tolerances with Pass/Fail indicators
- Integrated 3.5" color touch screen for easy standalone operation
- Bundled SQCX fully functional Color Control PC Software
Business Impact & Applications
- Quality Control at the Source: Portability allows testing at receiving, on assembly lines, and in the field—detecting out-of-spec batches early to eliminate wasteful processing.
- Wide Industry Versatility: Glass & glazing, plastics & packaging, films, foils, sheets, food & beverage (clear liquids), pharmaceuticals, automotive clear/tinted parts, paints, coatings, and transparent substrates.
