KMSA Launches CM-5 Spectrophotometer In US

Konica Minolta Sensing Americas (KMSA) has launched color measurement instrument, the CM-5 Spectrophotometer in the US. The CM-5 is a full featured, accurate and a totally standalone instrument that does not require a PC.

Lou Carulli, advertising and public relations, KMSA, said: “The CM-5 can display everything from numeric data, spectral graphs, and colorimetric plots, making a PC for basic color control a thing of the past. The versatility of the top port design can support the measurement of solid objects, pills, granules, liquids and pastes.

“It also integrates a sliding body panel to expose its large transmittance chamber capable of measuring films or plates up to 60mm thick. The sliding body panel design, with no sides, allows for the measurement of an object with no length limitation.”

Randy Klimek, new product project manager at KMSA, said: “What sets the CM-5 apart is that it’s quite simply the easiest and virtually mistake free color measurement instrument. The CM-5 comes with 5 new indices preloaded on the unit including the Gardner, Iodine, Hazen (APHA), European Pharmacopoeia, and US Pharmacopeia values of liquids. The CM-5 is the direct replacement for our popular CT-300 series. We are offering an exclusive trade-in for customers wishing to upgrade to the cutting edge of color measurement technology.”
