Spectrophotometric Colorimeter BCM-810 Biobase

The BCM-810 Spectrophotometric Colorimeter by Biobase is a high-precision portable instrument designed for accurate color measurement and analysis. Featuring advanced optical technology, multiple color spaces, and a large touchscreen display, it is widely used in industries such as printing, textiles, plastics, paints, and quality control where precise color evaluation is essential.

Features

1. Accurate measurement system using d/8 geometry (diffused illumination, 8° viewing angle) conforming to CIE No.15 and GB/T 3978 standards.

2. High-performance optics with a φ58 mm integrating sphere, combined LED light sources, and a silicon photodiode array sensor for stable measurements.

3. Wide measurement range covering spectral reflectance from 400–700 nm with a wavelength pitch of 10 nm and a reflectance range of 0–200%.

4. Multiple color spaces and indices including CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, CIE LUV, LAB&WI&YI, and various color difference formulas (ΔEab, ΔE94, ΔEcmc, CIE2000 ΔE00).

5. Comprehensive data output with spectral graphs, colorimetric values, pass/fail results, metamerism index, color strength, and more.

6. Fast and repeatable performance with 1.5-second measurement time and high repeatability (ΔE*ab ≤ 0.04).

7. Durable and portable design with long-life LED light source (over 1.6 million measurements) and Li-ion battery for up to 2800 measurements per charge.

8. Flexible connectivity via USB and RS-232 interfaces, with data storage for up to 1,000 standards and 15,000 samples.
