COLOR ANALYSIS WITH THE CIELAB METHOD
DNAPhone has long been the reliable partner of laboratories and companies in the beverage industry, providing color analysis using the CIELab method, compliant with official methods. We have made CIELab analysis simple, fast and easy to interpret through innovative graphical representation tools.
colorlab software
ColorLab is the Web APP that can be used from desktop PC or MAC or any other portable platform (tablet), compatible with any traditional laboratory spectrophotometer that enables advanced color analysis. Watch the video:
With ColorLab you will be able to:
- import excel or csv files of absorbance spectra measured with any spectrophotometer;
- automatically calculate CIELab parameters according to the chosen supply chain and in accordance with the reference method;
- create different types of customizable 2D and 3D graphs to facilitate data interpretation;
- evaluate the evolution of color in each of its components, over time and according to certain product and process characteristics.
Thanks to our customers’ feedback and requests, ColorLab software is constantly evolving to offer a solution that is always up-to-date and suitable for every need.

SMΔRT ANALYSIS platform
For customers who do not already have a spectrophotometer, we provide a complete portable Spectrophotometer analysis system (patented), managed through an APP. All color analyses performed with the SMΔRT ANALYSIS platform are automatically uploaded to ColorLab Software for convenient processing.
CIELAB, THE REFERENCE METHOD FOR COLOR ANALYSIS
For more than a decade, several scientific institutions have replaced and downgraded the “classical” method for color analysis based on the measurement of absorbance at three wavelengths, relying on the CIELab method, which has become the reference method for beverage color analysis.
Why?
CLASSICAL METHOD VS. CIELAB METHOD
CLASSICAL METHOD
It does not allow objective and unambiguous assessments of color and does not provide process information.
⇒ uses 3 wavelengths 420-520-620 nm.
CIELAB METHOD
The only scientific method that measures wine color unambiguously and objectively.
⇒ uses 80 wavelengths between 380 and 780 nm.
