CT2100 Spectrophotometer

Fast countertop readings for everyday paint-counter samples, with an 8 mm aperture and protected built-in calibration tile.

Everyday matching without a complicated setup The CT2100 gives retail paint teams a dedicated countertop instrument for common samples with a measurable area of at least 8 mm. Its 45°/0° geometry and continuous-ring LED illumination capture a reading in one second. A multi-color status light keeps the operator informed without adding an instrument display to learn. Built for the paint counter The white calibration tile stays with the instrument, and its protective cap helps keep wet paint away from the reference surface. A single white-calibration routine and USB connection simplify day-to-day operation. The instrument reports spectral data from 400 to 700 nm at 10 nm intervals. Instrument only or a complete workstation? This listing includes the CT2100 instrument, USB cable, and Quick Start Guide. Compatible formulation software is required to turn readings into paint recipes; ColorDesigner PLUS can formulate and save custom recipes when used with a supported paint database. The software license, computer, monitor, and Seiko SLP650 label printer are not included here. Choose the W50 Series for the workstation bundle. Photos showing a computer or other counter equipment illustrate use, not included accessories.
