The portable benchtop spectrophotometer TS8290 is a spectrophotometer
developed by 3nh using its own core technology of spectroscopy. It uses
a built-in silicon photodiode array (40 pairs of dual-row) sensors and
an imported whiteboard. It also takes into account the measurement speed
and the convenience of operation. Rotating and pressing structure makes
testing more convenient. The repeatability ΔE*ab of TS8290 portable benchtop
spectrophotometer is easily controlled within 0.05, and the inter-instrument
error ΔE*ab is controlled within 0.15. The measurement is accurate and
can be used for accurate color analysis and transmission in the laboratory.
