Color measurement of solid and powdered pharmaceutical products

HunterLab colorimeters quickly and precisely determine deviations in whiteness (Whiteness Index) and yellowness (Yellowness Index). Color values in reflection and transmission can be determined repeatably and precisely in medicines and concentrates, on powders, powders, tablets, capsules, transparent, translucent and opaque samples. Soaps and other (solid/pressed) decorative cosmetic products are also tested for color to ensure quality and safety. For companies in FDA-regulated areas, HunterLab offers software solutions in accordance with regulation 21 CFR Part 11 (with Electronic Record-Keeping) in addition to measuring devices.

Color measurement of contact lenses

Color measurement of contact lenses

Color measurement is essential in the development of contact lenses in order to optimize both coloration and light transmission. Clear lenses are lightly tinted to facilitate handling without impairing the visual experience. Using specific color measurements, the transmission of light through the lenses can be precisely analyzed and controlled depending on the material. For tinted lenses, the precise measurement makes it possible to change eye colors authentically. HunterLabs Vista spectrophotom...
