NS810 spectrophotometer is developed by 3nh with independent intellectual property rights. It features with stable performance, precise measurement and powerful functions in the leading position of the same industry.
In the R&D process, 3nh scientists and engineers measured various color samples from dark to light, white to black, and other standard color boards provided by ISO (International Standardization Organization). The parameters of test results are integrating with international standards.
3nh also analyzed the parameters from Japan, American and Germany spectrophotometers. The differences of L*ab absolute value between them are within ±1.5. Compared the L*ab value between NS810 and Japan spectrophotometer, when measuring any color objects, the biggest L*ab difference is within ±1.0. This is a breakthrough of 3nh high technology which realizes to be fully compatible with international market.
Applications
NS810 spectrophotometer is widely used in plastic, electronic, painting, coating, ink, textile, garment, printing and dyeing, food, medical, cosmetic, industries, scientific research institutes, schools and laboratories. It can measure reflectance spectrum and other color index precisely.

1. When I received NH310/NH300 colorimeter and perform measurement, why the measured data is abnormal?
After receiving NH310/NH300, you have to perform white and black calibration manually when first starting.
2. In which condition, manual white and black calibration and auto calibration are required for NH310?
a. It’s needed to perform manual calibration for NH310 when first starting.
b. In the subsequent starting, NH310 will perform auto calibration at startup. No need to perform manual calibration.
c. Suggestion: it’s best to perform manual calibration once a week or when NH310 measured data is not accurate.
