Optional Upgrades for Enhanced Accuracy
While the kit includes everything you need for visual color matching, you have two optional tools to make reading results even easier:
GaiaXus Handheld Photometer (Optional)
For digital precision and data tracking, the GaiaXus photometer pairs seamlessly with our kits and connects to the GaiaXus Android app or GaiaXus iPhone app for easy result logging. This eliminates guesswork by providing exact numerical readings.
Free Nitrate Color Slider Web App (Optional)
Use our free web app for easier visual color matching. Instead of using the printed color chart, match your sample color on screen for more precise readings. No download needed - simply visit nitrate.com/app.
