  Pharmaceutical Industry Applications 

Color-Tec offers a variety of color instruments and Windows software for the Pharmaceutical Industries, from skin measurement in clinical conditions to measurement of powders in the lab and production to measurement of finished production of pills and tablets as a QC control.

Quality Control Features- The standard color measuring features in the instruments and in ColorSoft® meet all of the requirements of the Pharmaceutical Industries for color applications. Our features out perform many of our competitors in both instruments and software, most of which are more complicated and significantly more expensive. 

Portability- For many operations portability issue is key. The size and ease of use makes the PCM and PSM a unique lab and factory unit. Powered by simple, low cost, standard 9-volt batteries makes the unit easy to support. The PSM can be used in the field to gather data in skin and hair demographic studies evaluate products on the skin and in the plant and lab for quick check of ingredients and finished product; in processing areas for inspection and QC testing. The 3mm PCM is excellent to measure tablets, pills and small skin areas as well as a QC tool for packaging materials.

 

Color Measurement & Analysis- Most Pharmaceutical products, powders and skin care products have delta ranges of acceptability of 1.5 or more Deltas. The PCM easily meets these needs. Since many of the current instruments now used by industry are Colorimeters with poor stability and poor inter-instrument agreement, the PCM offers more capability and flexibility than many competitive instruments.

Color Formulation software prediction and analysis tied to the ColorTec-PSM offers the Pharmaceutical Chemist powerful tools to develop new shades in a range of colorant formulations quickly and easily.

Ease of Use- The PCM/PSM systems are easy to set up and operate as a stand-alone instrument and easy to run with our Windows based software as well. For researchers and QA users who have used other color systems, they find our data management methods and analytical tools gives them flexibility and sophistication well beyond anything they have used before.

Cleanability- The 12mm and 20mm PCM/PSM models with sapphire windowed apertures can be easily cleaned with distilled water and glass cleaner using a soft cloth. The instrument can not be fully immersed in liquid. For some extremely oily materials, we recommend film like Saran Wrap be used over the material to be measured. For powders, clear sample bags can be used. Always use plastic film and bags from the same manufacturer to assure consistency of film color, clarity and thickness. Our laboratory bench top units can be supplied with a clear protective cover to prevent spillage into the optics.

Ruggedness- With no moving parts and stable locked in optics and computer components of the PCM/PSM is operationally secure. The case is ABS, the same polymer system used to make most phones and other roughly handled consumer items.

Complete System- We supply everything in one purchase: the instrument, software, computer connections, RS232 computer connections, universal AC power converter to 20 volt power, batteries, manual, electronic HELP and phone support.
