Colour Measurement of Liquid Chemicals

For transparent or semi-transparent liquids

Colour measurement of Liquid Chemicals


Spectrophotometers for liquid chemical products from opaque to translucent in reflectance or transmission.

For manufacturers of liquid chemicals products, our portable and benchtop colour measurement instruments and software help to produce accurate and consistent coloured chemical products. You can analyse liquid chemical products of all levels of opacity to produce repeatable and traceable spectral data that can be reported, recorded, and communicated with customers.

Konica Minolta Measuring Instruments can help you to control costs, specify and deliver the products your customers want, and provide a competitive edge in the market.


Manufacturers in a wide range of markets need to offer a consistent and traceable product, and rely on our instruments to provide fast and accurate measurement of water or oil-based liquids, whether opaque or transparent.


Konica Minolta’s versatile benchtop spectrophotometers can be used connected to a PC or in standalone mode allowing for colour control where you need it, either in the laboratory, in production, or onsite at a customer or supplier.

Our benchtop spectrophotometers are widely used for both transmittance and reflectance colour measurement of liquids, generating colour data that is easy to analyse, report, and communicate with customers. Cuvettes of 2, 10 or 20mm are available in either optical glass or plastic dependent on your requirements. Or a flow cell can be employed to integrate the system into other test equipment or with an automated or closed system.

Our benchtop spectrophotometer CM-5 can measure several of the standard color indices commonly used in the chemical field. Calibration curves for specific indices including Gardner, Hazen/APHA, Iodine Color Number, European Pharmacopoeia, and US Pharmacopeia are stored in CM-5, eliminating the need to prepare and handle the standard solutions for each index. Index measurements can be taken using the optional 10mm cell measurement with the commercially available 10mm-wide cells used for other types of chemical analysis, letting our instrument easily fit into your current workflow.

Our experienced teams can recommend a solution, and our extensive service network can ensure that your instruments are maintained and traceable throughout their life.

Instruments

Instruments

CM-36dGV Benchtop Spectrophotometer

The latest innovation in digital colour data, with an integrated sample viewer camera, optional wavelength analysis, and adjustment tool for year-round certainty and a number of usability features. 

CM-5 Benchtop Spectrophotometer

A benchtop spectrophotometer with built-in display and user wizard to provide unsurpassed usability, whilst the versatile top port measurement aperture is particularly suited to powder and granular samples.

CM-700d Portable Spectrophotometer

Where portability is required for measuring powders, the CM-700d is a versatile choice, able to operate well with a powder press, cell holder, or optical glass aperture to deliver accurate colour data in the field.

CR-410 Colorimeter

The CR-410 tristimulus colorimeter, with a large 50mm measurement aperture, can quickly and repeatably provide L*a*b* colour data and colour difference, ideal for QC and less colour critical applications.

SpectraMagic NX Software

SpectraMagic NX is a colour measurement software package that can be used to interface with Konica Minolta instruments. It provides extended reporting and analysis of colour and colour difference. The user has full control of customisation of templates and reports.

Applications

Applications

Measurement of Powders at Goods-in

The CM-5 benchtop spectrophotometer, with built-in display and operator wizard, can provide a simple but accurate system for measuring products at goods-in. This may allow the operator to validate against an agreed specification or to bin different batches, according to their colour standard to improve certainty of the final product.

Measurement of the Whitest Whites

Utilising the CM-36dGV and the SpectraMagic NX software, a producer can measure finished products such as Titanium Dioxide, accurately and traceably validating its whiteness, generating statistical data across one or more batches, and producing reports for customers.
