Agera L2 Features at a Glance
The perfect solution for laboratory & production
-
0°/45° geometry
This geometry according to DIN corresponds to the color impression that the human eye has of the sample.
-
Ultra dark mode
High-precision measurement values for deep black or low-light materials such as carbon black, black pigments and powders.
-
Grade A CIE D65 illumination
CIE D65 class A light source for consistent measurement results, across all locations.
-
Full spectrum + UV
With an illumination range of 360-700 nm, the Agera is also suitable for measuring optically brightened samples. -
Smart user interface
Your measurement results can be easily transferred to existing LIMS or SPC systems.
-
Easy to use and precise
Simple "one touch" measurement reduces training time, optimizes the workflow and increases your productivity.
Professional for laboratory & production
Depending on the sample and application, the device can be positioned with the measurement aperture facing upward or forward. Measuring apertures of various sizes adapt to any requirement and sample. Whether powders, granules, liquid or semi-solid samples, solid materials, or structured and inhomogeneous surfaces, the new Agera L2 is the right choice for many applications.
HunterLab provides excellent customer support long after the sale. Whether on-site or remotely, our experienced application engineers offer straightforward, fast, and expert assistance.

colour. gloss. Ultra-Dark. UV.
With simultaneous measurement of reflectance of colour, 60-degree gloss measurement, a UV option, and image capture, the Agera L2 offers unique functionality combined with ease of use. This stand-alone device, with its small footprint and touchscreen, is easy to operate and provides reliability thanks to long-lasting LED technology. The Agera L2 features new and improved color software: Essentials 2.0 delivers lab-quality data in a clear, touch-optimized user interface —for fast, confident decisions. The Agera L2 features precise illumination in accordance with the CIE standard (certified Grade A CIE D65 illumination), an UltraDark mode for deep-black samples, and a rugged, splash-proof design.
Compliant with standards. Versatile. Robust.
The Agera L2 spectrophotometer complies with internationally recognized ASTM, CIE, DIN, and ISO standards for colour measurement in terms of both design and function. Test functions and reference standards (white tile, black glass and green tile) for calibration and test equipment monitoring are included as standard. The Agera L2 is a durable laboratory instrument that offers precise performance in a compact footprint. Solid construction and high-quality components guarantee a long service life even under heavy use.
