Lovibond® Comparator System 2000
A flexible, modular system for Visual Colour Grading

Using a suitable Comparator instrument, the sample is visually matched against calibrated, colour stable glass
standards in test discs. The Comparator 2000 is a short path length instrument (up to 40 mm) for visually matching
samples with relatively dark colours. Nessleriser systems are longer path length instruments for matching a column
of sample in a glass cylinder of appropriate path length. They are designed for measuring unsaturated samples that
are below the sensitivity of the Comparator 2000. A selection of Lovibond® colour grading discs for use with the
Comparator System 2000 is shown below;
