LCS III

The LCS III is a highly pre­cise color instru­ment which spec­trally mea­sures all color shades of opti­cally clear liquids. Besides the con­ven­tio­nal visual color num­bers (Gard­ner, Iodine, Hazen (APHA) etc.) the LCS can mea­sure oppo­nent color such as CIE­Lab, XYZ and Yxy under the con­di­tions of illu­mi­nant C (day­light) and 2° Stan­dard Observer.

  • Stand alone unit with built-in touch-screen dis­play allows use with­out the need of a PC
  • Auto­matic cuvette detec­tion - avoids faulty data mea­sure­ment
  • Designed for the use of dis­pos­able plas­tic cuvettes, high pre­ci­sion opti­cal glass cuvettes or 11 mm test tubes
  • Auto­matic zero and cal­i­bra­tion mem­ory for all type of cuvettes - ensures use of cor­rect cal­i­bra­tion data
  • All impor­tant color scales and indices included
  • Highly accu­rate and reli­able results are ensured by the dual beam prin­ci­ple
  • User pro­file mem­ory with pass­word pro­tec­tion for indi­vi­d­ual con­fig­u­ra­tions - includ­ing GLP doc­u­men­ta­tion
  • Open sam­ple com­part­ment for ease of oper­a­tion
  • USB inter­face for PC or prin­ter con­nec­tion
