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.
