3nh TS7600 Taisun High-Precision Spectrophotometric Colorimeter

Overview

The 3nh TS7600 Taisun High-Precision Spectrophotometric Colorimeter is an engineered solution for laboratory-grade and production-floor color measurement, designed in strict accordance with CIE No. 15:2018 and ISO/CIE 11664 series standards. It employs a precision 1000-line holographic blazed grating as its dispersive element and a large-area silicon photodiode array detector to ensure high signal-to-noise ratio and spectral fidelity across the visible spectrum (400–700 nm). Its optical architecture conforms to CIE-recommended d/8° geometry with specular component included (SCI) and excluded (SCE) modes—enabling accurate characterization of both diffuse and surface-reflected color behavior. The instrument utilizes full-spectrum LEDs with stable spectral output and extended service life (>5 years under normal operation), eliminating the drift and aging issues common in traditional tungsten-halogen or xenon sources. This design ensures long-term photometric stability and traceable color data acquisition under standardized illuminants—including D65 (daylight), A (incandescent), and industry-specific F-series sources (e.g., F11/TL84 for retail lighting simulation).

Key Features

• High-resolution spectral acquisition with optical resolution <10 nm across 400–700 nm, enabling precise identification of metamerism and spectral reflectance anomalies.
• Dual-mode measurement capability (SCI/SCE) for comprehensive evaluation of material appearance—critical for textured, coated, or translucent samples.
• Integrated 8-mm measuring aperture (MAV) optimized for industrial repeatability; supports optional 4-mm SAV and 25-mm LAV apertures via accessory kit.
• Real-time on-device display with intuitive icon-based UI; supports English, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, and Japanese language options.
• Robust aluminum-magnesium alloy housing rated IP54 for dust and splash resistance—suitable for factory floor deployment without protective enclosures.
• USB-C and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity for seamless data transfer; compatible with Windows, macOS, and Android platforms.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The TS7600 accommodates solid, opaque, and semi-transparent samples—including plastics, painted panels, textiles, ceramic glazes, printed substrates, and cosmetic powders—without requiring specialized sample holders in most cases. Its d/8° sphere geometry mitigates directional bias and enables reliable measurement of curved, granular, or low-gloss surfaces when used with standard calibration tiles. The instrument complies with ASTM E308-23 (computing tristimulus values from spectral data), ISO 7724-1:2022 (colorimetric instrumentation requirements), and GB/T 3978–2008 (Chinese national standard for color measurement). Measurement protocols support GLP/GMP documentation workflows, including user-defined audit trails, calibration timestamp logging, and instrument verification reports aligned with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 clause 6.4.10.

Software & Data Management

The TS7600 operates with SpectraMagic NX v3.5 (Windows/macOS), a validated color management platform supporting multi-instrument synchronization, statistical process control (SPC) charting, and pass/fail tolerance mapping per CMC(2:1), CIEDE2000, or ΔE*ab thresholds. Raw spectral data (31-point or 10-nm interval) is exportable in CSV, XML, and CxF/XRGA formats for integration into enterprise QMS systems (e.g., TrackWise, MasterControl) or third-party formulation software (e.g., X-Rite Color iMatch, Datacolor MatchText). All software modules comply with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for electronic records and signatures—featuring role-based access control, encrypted audit logs, and non-erasable calibration history.

Applications

The TS7600 serves as a primary reference instrument in quality assurance labs for automotive OEMs verifying paint batch consistency against master standards; in electronics manufacturing controlling anodized aluminum housing hue shifts; in textile mills ensuring dye lot conformity across global supply chains; and in pharmaceutical packaging facilities validating label color integrity under regulatory-defined illuminants (e.g., D65 + UV for fluorescence assessment). It is also deployed in R&D settings for pigment dispersion analysis, inkjet ink development, and food product appearance validation—where spectral fidelity and inter-instrument agreement (ΔE*ab < 0.15 between units) are critical for method transfer.

FAQ

What is the recommended calibration frequency for routine QC use?
Daily zero and white calibration is advised before first use and after ambient temperature shifts >5°C; NIST-traceable ceramic tile verification every 8 hours or per shift.
Does the TS7600 support fluorescence compensation?
Yes—built-in UV-filtered and UV-included measurement modes enable quantitative assessment of optical brighteners and fluorescent pigments per ISO 105-J03:2022.
Can spectral data be exported for third-party spectral analysis tools?
Yes—full 10-nm spectral reflectance curves (31 points) are exportable in ASCII-compliant CSV format with wavelength and %R columns.
Is the device suitable for ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories?
Yes—when operated with documented procedures, certified reference materials (e.g., NPL CRMs), and periodic inter-laboratory comparison, it meets metrological requirements for accredited color testing.
What is the maximum sample curvature radius supported without adapter?
Up to 50 mm radius for convex surfaces; concave surfaces require optional concave sample holder (TS-CH-01).
