Reflectance Spectrophotometers TRA 520 and TRA 500

The TRA 520 and TRA 500 are advanced reflectance spectrophotometers designed for accurate, repeatable colour measurement of liquids, gels, and powders. Each model features a precisely fitting portable docking station that eliminates ambient light interference, ensuring consistent results even in challenging lab environments. With their robust design and multiple glass cell options (10, 20, 30 mm), these instruments are versatile tools for daily laboratory use.

Both models include a high-resolution CMOS sensor with a 256-element double array, a user-friendly 3.5-inch capacitive TFT colour touchscreen, and external memory capable of storing up to 20,000 samples and 2,000 standards. Free OnShade software enables detailed colour analysis, graph generation, and statistical process control, while the intuitive interface supports multiple languages for global usability.

The TRA 520 goes a step further with dual apertures, UV on/off functionality for fluorescent material measurement, an extended range of illuminants, and enhanced repeatability and inter-instrument agreement, making it ideal for highly sensitive or specialised applications.

Key Features Across Both Models:

- di:8°/de:8° optical geometry, SCI/SCE modes
- Multiple colour spaces and colour difference formulas
- Broad spectral range: 400–700 nm, 10 nm interval
- Intuitive angled viewing window for easy readout
- Integrated light cover to block extraneous light
- USB and Bluetooth® 4.0 connectivity
- Lightweight, compact design (1.2 kg)

Whether you choose the TRA 500 for essential lab work or the TRA 520 for advanced applications, both deliver reliable performance, ease of use, and comprehensive colour measurement capabilities.
