Do the CQXE and USVis agree on APHA Follow

Does the ColorQuest XE and the UltraScan Vis agree on APHA measurements?

The ColorQuest XE and UltraScan Vis share the same sphere, lamp, and collection optics. They differ in the optical bench size and range, detection and electronics. The UltraScan Vis can detect over the full range of Visible light, 360nm to 780nm compared to the ColorQuest XE which only detected light in the range of 400nm to 700nm.

The APHA index was developed by reading a standard test of actual APHA solutions on a ColorQuest XE and UltraScan Vis. This was done to insure the two instrument types had very close agreement in how they report APHA. We followed ASTM D5386 recommendation and used the YI E313 index as the basis for our polynomial fit. Each sensor has its own specific fit equation. The EasyMatch QC software determines which equation to use based on which instrument it is currently connected.
