Portable Products
Measure on the go—including samples on plant production floors, in storage areas, shipping departments, or virtually anywhere that’s convenient. Available in Directional 45°/0° and Diffuse d/8° geometries.
Have you ever needed a color measurement while you were outside of the lab? If you ever find yourself needing to take measurements on the go, portable spectrophotometers or colorimeters are a must-have. Portable spectrophotometers are lightweight, handheld mobile devices that enable technicians to take color measurements in the field.
Handheld spectrophotometers/colorimeters are convenient because they allow you to bring the instrument to the sample rather than vice versa. This is beneficial because there may be instances when you're unable to bring samples to the lab.

Portable Products
Portable spectrophotometers/colorimeters from HunterLab allow you to measure on the go—including samples on plant production floors, in storage areas, shipping departments, or virtually anywhere without your benchtop spectrophotometer. Our handheld instruments are available in Directional 45°/0° and Diffuse d/8° geometries to give you more options in the field. Learn about the characteristics of each below.

Portable Directional 45°/0° Spectrophotometer
At HunterLab, our 45º/0º geometry portable spectrophotometer/colorimeter is known as the MiniScan EZ 4500L. This type of instrument mimics the human eye and recognizes color the same way our eyes do. They're one of the best choices for measuring color samples, so having a portable device allows you to obtain measurements in many situations.
The MiniScan EZ 4500L is designed for one-handed operation. It's lightweight and ergonomic, and the functions can be controlled at the tip of your thumb. This instrument contains the most commonly used color scales and can display everything from color data to the spectral difference plot on the large LCD display. Additionally, this MiniScan EZ can store up to 800 sample measurements.
Portable Diffuse d/8° Spectrophotometer
HunterLab also offers a portable sphere geometry spectrophotometer/colorimeter, called the MiniScan EZ 4000L. Featuring the same design and features as the MiniScan EZ 4500L, this instrument can also be easily operated and carried around the production floor. In this case, however, the MiniScan EZ 4000L is better suited for reading textured and non-uniform samples.
If you need to measure color outside the laboratory, take the MiniScan EZ. You'll no longer need to run between the production line and the lab to get readings. Our portable spectrophotometer/colorimeter gives you high-quality laboratory performance in a well-designed handheld device. The MiniScan EZ is accurate because it contains sophisticated technology that's typically only found in benchtop spectrophotometers or colorimeters. The heavy-duty, ergonomic, convenient and easy-to-hold design allows for one-touch, one-hand operation so color measurements can be taken in seconds outside of the lab.
