HunterLab Unveils Agera® L2, a Reference‑Grade Spectrophotometer Designed for Visual Agreement and Tight Tolerances

RESTON, Va., Jan. 6, 2026 /CNW/ -- HunterLab^®, the global leader in color measurement innovation, today announced the launch of the Agera^® L2 Spectrophotometer / Colorimeter, a reference‑grade solution engineered to deliver visually aligned color measurement across the most demanding applications.

Agera L2 is the ideal color measurement solution for plastics, plastic recycling, packaging, retroreflective and safety materials, textiles, coatings, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, paper and related materials, and anything with 20% reflectance or less.

Agera L2 delivers confident, visually aligned measurements, whether or not a controlled D65 viewing environment is available.

Achieve reference-grade color accuracy with Agera L2. Built for tight tolerances and long-term reliability, Agera L2 combines certified Grade 'A' CIE D65 source illumination, superior low-reflectance performance, the industry's largest measurement area, and built-in PC power and storage. Agera L2 delivers confident, visually aligned measurements, whether or not a controlled D65 viewing environment is available.
