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. |
