Product Overview
The Gardner Color 2 (GAR02) standard is a meticulously formulated liquid reference designed for high-precision colorimetric applications in laboratories. This ISO-compliant solution provides a consistent and reproducible color benchmark, ensuring accurate comparisons in quality control, research, and industrial processes. The non-fading, stable composition resists degradation over time, maintaining its spectral properties under standard lab conditions. Housed in a durable, light-resistant container, it minimizes external interference, guaranteeing long-term reliability. The analytical-grade purity eliminates impurities that could skew results, while the uniform batch-to-batch consistency reduces variability in testing. Ideal for spectrophotometry, visual color matching, and automated systems, this standard adheres to international protocols, making it a trusted choice for professionals requiring traceable and repeatable color measurements. Its compatibility with most lab-grade glassware and instruments further enhances its versatility in diverse workflows.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of the Gardner Color 2 standard?
When stored in its original container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, the standard retains its accuracy for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this standard be used with digital colorimeters?
Yes, the Gardner Color 2 standard is compatible with most digital colorimeters and spectrophotometers calibrated to the Gardner scale, provided the instrument supports liquid samples.
3. Are there alternatives for smaller-scale applications?
For lower-volume needs, consider reusable color chips or pre-measured ampoules, though these may require recalibration more frequently than liquid standards.
4. How should I handle spills or contamination?
Wipe spills immediately with a lint-free cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol, and avoid mixing with other liquids, as cross-contamination can alter the reference value.
5. Is this standard traceable to NIST or other metrology institutes?
The Gardner Color 2 standard is manufactured under ISO guidelines and can be cross-referenced with NIST SRMs for traceability, though direct certification may require additional documentation.
