Product Overview
TS7700 Spectrophotometer | Dual Apertures, UV and Advanced Color QC
TS7700 spectrophotometer uses D/8 optical geometry and supports SCI/SCE measurement modes, UV-included / UV-excluded measurement, a full-spectrum combined LED source, a dual optical path, and a silicon photodiode array. It is designed for applications requiring spectral reflectance, color data, and QC traceability.
The TS7700 supports Φ8 mm / Φ4 mm aperture switching and platform / pointed measurement configurations. Evaluate the setup based on sample size, surface condition, and measurement location. Applications may include plastics and electronics, paints and coatings, textiles and dyeing, printing, automotive, medical, cosmetics, food, and laboratories for Lab color data and ΔE evaluation, incoming inspection, R&D comparison, and process QC. Final selection should reflect the sample, inspection purpose, aperture, and QC workflow.
Key Features
TS7700 Spectrophotometer Features
Designed for dual-aperture measurement, SCI/SCE comparison, UV condition evaluation, data storage, and color QC management.
D/8 optical geometry
Uses D/8 geometry and aligns with relevant measurement conditions such as CIE No.15, GB/T 3978, GB 2893, GB/T 18833, ISO 7724-1, ASTM E1164, and DIN 5033 Teil 7. It can be considered for color QC and R&D comparison workflows.
Full-spectrum LED source and UV conditions
The long-life, low-power combined full-spectrum LED source supports UV-included / UV-excluded measurement to evaluate color differences in fluorescent or optical-brightener-containing samples when required.
Φ8 / Φ4 mm dual-aperture switching
Switch between Φ8 mm and Φ4 mm apertures and pair platform or pointed measurement ports with the sample shape and measurement location for samples of different sizes and surface conditions.
Dual optical path and SCI/SCE spectra
The dual optical path supports spectral measurement in the visible range and simultaneous SCI and SCE sample spectra, helping compare how gloss, texture, or specular reflection affects color assessment.
Spectral and Lab color data
Measure sample spectra and Lab color data to support formulation, batch comparison, supply-chain acceptance, and color communication. Acceptance decisions should follow internal standards and QC procedures.
3.5-inch touchscreen and advanced hardware
Features a 3.5-inch TFT color display, capacitive touchscreen, 1000-line blazed grating, and a silicon photodiode array with a large photosensitive area for operation and data review.
USB / Bluetooth communication
USB and Bluetooth support data transfer and management for field inspection, laboratory workflows, and QC reports. Confirm actual features for the supplied hardware and software versions.
Standard white tile
The standard white tile can be used in routine calibration and measurement workflows to help maintain consistent test conditions. Follow the manufacturer’s procedures for storage and calibration.
Large data storage
Stores more than 30,000 test records for batch tracking, incoming inspection records, and long-term QC data management.
Multiple illuminants, color spaces, and indices
Supports 2° / 10° standard observer angles, multiple illuminant modes and color spaces, and colorimetric indices aligned with multiple standards. Configure them for the industry’s color assessment workflow.
Camera viewfinder and positioning plate
Camera viewfinder positioning and positioning-plate measurement help operators confirm the measurement location and reduce variation caused by misalignment.
PC software expansion
Optional PC software can support color data management, color-difference comparison, and reporting. Confirm functions, export formats, and data-management options for the supplied version.

FAQ
TS7700 Frequently Asked Questions
Questions to resolve before introducing dual-aperture measurement, UV conditions, SCI/SCE, and color QC.
What samples and industries is the TS7700 suitable for?
It can be evaluated for color QC in plastics and electronics, paints and coatings, textiles and dyeing, printing, automotive, medical, cosmetics, food, and laboratories. Confirm suitability based on the sample material, surface, measurement area, and QC workflow.
How should I choose between Φ8 mm and Φ4 mm?
Φ8 mm can suit general samples or a more stable measurement area; Φ4 mm can suit small areas or local points. For curved, textured, glossy, or undersized samples, provide sample details to confirm the aperture.
When are the TS7700 UV conditions useful?
UV-included / UV-excluded measurement can help evaluate color differences in fluorescent or optical-brightener-containing samples under different UV conditions. Confirm customer acceptance conditions and measurement standards for fluorescent materials, textiles, paper, or special coatings.
What is SCI/SCE measurement used for?
SCI/SCE measurement helps compare whether surface specular reflection is included in color data. For glossy, matte, coated, textured, or gloss-variable samples, confirm whether SCI, SCE, or both must be recorded under the acceptance specification.
How is the TS7700 different from a general color-difference meter?
A general color-difference meter is often used for quick comparisons. The TS7700 is a spectrophotometer that can provide spectral reflectance, Lab data, ΔE evaluation, and multiple colorimetric indices for R&D comparison, supply-chain acceptance, and QC traceability.
What information should I provide before adopting a TS7700?
Provide sample material and dimensions, spot size, surface gloss, texture or curvature, fluorescence or optical brighteners, color-difference formula, observer illuminant, acceptance limits, SCI/SCE or UV requirements, and data storage and report needs.
Pre-deployment checks
For fluorescent or brightened samples, small areas, curved or textured surfaces, gloss differences, or multiple suppliers, share the sample conditions, inspection purpose, and internal criteria before confirming the aperture, UV conditions, SCI/SCE settings, and data-management workflow.
