Description
Level up your clarity and colour confidence with Vista® L2 — measure colour and haze in one step with a modern smart interface, a spill resistant sample compartment and built-in PC power and storage.
Features and Benefits
Vista L2 is a visible light transmission spectrophotometer engineered to measure both colour and haze of transparent and translucent liquid and solid samples in one step. It delivers accurate, repeatable results to help manufacturers verify product purity, meet regulatory standards, and maintain consistent quality across production.
Built for efficiency, Vista L2 combines intuitive operation, low maintenance, and a compact footprint to simplify workflows, reduce costs, and ensure dependable performance every day.
Use Vista L2 to measure the colour of edible oils, beverages, petrochemicals, bio pharma, plastic preforms and more.
FAQ
1. What is the primary function of the HunterLab Vista L2?
The Vista L2 is a benchtop transmission spectrophotometer that simultaneously measures transmission colour and haze (turbidity) for transparent or translucent liquids and solids in a single step. It replaces separate instruments, removing subjective visual grading.
2. How does extending the wavelength range to 710 nm benefit measurements?
Extending the range to 710 nm reaches into near-infrared wavelengths where colour absorption drops and light scattering dominates. This provides a clearer separation between true product colour and turbidity, allowing labs to distinguish formulation shifts from haze issues.
3. How has the diagnostic calibration process been improved over previous models?
The Vista L2 features an automated, internal didymium diagnostic filter, replacing manually inserted external filters. Initiated via the touchscreen, the filter automatically moves into the optical path for verification and retracts, protecting the standard from fingerprints, contamination, and positioning errors.
4. What key industries and sample types is the Vista L2 designed for?
It tests liquid and solid transmission across multiple sectors:
- Edible Oils & Beverages: Colour, haze, and clarity in oils, juices, syrups, and beer.
- Pharma & Chemicals: Protein aggregation, solution purity, resin scales (APHA), and chemical solvents.
- Plastics & Petrochemicals: Preforms, films, sheets, fuels, and mineral oils (complying with ASTM D1003, ASTM D1500, Saybolt).
5. Does the Vista L2 support regulatory compliance for pharma and commercial workflows?
Yes. It includes built-in Essentials Quality Control Software on a smart touchscreen. For regulated environments, optional ER software enables FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and GMP compliance with audit trails and electronic signatures. It also maintains backward compatibility with legacy Vista accessories.
