The HunterLab ColorFlex EZ is a compact benchtop spectrophotometer that uses a 45°/0° geometry to measure color similar to the human eye. While the ColorFlex EZ has been the industry standard for years, HunterLab recently introduced the ColorFlex L2 as its official “next-generation” successor.

Technology and Precision

Measurement Geometry: The 45°/0° design (directional illumination at 45° and measurement at 0°) is crucial for accurate quality control because it accounts for surface texture and gloss, similar to human visual perception.

Light Source: Both generations utilize a pulsed xenon lamp, ensuring a long lifespan of over 1 million flashes.

Accuracy: The ColorFlex EZ offers a spectral resolution of <3 nm over a range of 400 nm to 700 nm.

ColorFlex EZ Features (Current Standard)

Versatility: Suitable for measuring opaque solids, liquids, powders, granules, and pellets.

Storage: Stores up to 250 product settings and 2,000 sample measurements, including pass/fail tolerances.

Standalone Operation: Features a built-in display and keyboard, eliminating the need for a PC for daily use.

Specialty Models: Available in customized versions such as the ColorFlex EZ Citrus, Coffee, and Tomato for specific industry indices.

Next Generation Innovations (ColorFlex L2)

The new ColorFlex L2 builds on EZ technology with modern upgrades:

Smart Interface: Features a more modern touch interface and a spill-resistant housing.

Connectivity: Equipped with USB ports and an HDMI connection for external monitors.

Compatibility: Existing data and standards from the ColorFlex EZ can be seamlessly transferred to the L2.
