CM-5 Top-Port Spectrophotometer

offering versatile usage

and simple operation

Requirements for Colour measurement of Foods, Ingredients, Flavours & Fragrances, Drinks, Pharmaceuti­cals, Cosmetics and base Chemicals are especially demanding due to the extreme diversity of sample forms,
from solids to powders, granules paste, liquid to opaque, translucent or transparent, all forms are found.

An instrument capable of covering this wide range of products must not only be exible in terms of measure­ment methodology but even more importantly in terms of user friendliness and minimum sample preparation
time to allow fast routine measurements in the laboratory or in production control.

The new Konica Minolta Bench-Top Spectrophotometer CM-5 offers exactly this combination of versatility

and simplicity to cover all the requirements in a true “All in one” concept.

Full-featured

Stand alone instrument that

covers all your applications

The top-port concept allows easy sample positio­ning and measurement of solid samples. Just place
the sample on the measuring port and press the
measurement button.

Measuring areas with 30, 8 and 3 mm allow perfect
adaption to the sample size.

Samples in paste, powder or granule form can easily
be measured with the optional Petri-Dish set.

Simply sliding the top cover, opens the large trans­mission chamber to measure all kind of transpa­rent liquids or solids, such as foils or glass plates in
Transmission mode.

Reflection measurement of solids Reflection measurement of paste products

For liquids, glass or plastic cells of up to 60 mm path
can be used, including 12.5 mm standard glass cells
when using the optional adapter.

Functions & Features

that make your daily work

faster and easier

The large LCD screen show the measurement
results delete either numerically or graphically in-

cluding Reectance values, all colour systems and

PASS/FAIL evaluations.

To simplify the operation; the “Operation Wizard”

is a perfect step by step on screen user guide in 7
Languages to ease operation.

To simplify the use of the CM-5 by several people
in parallel, measurement data and instrument set-

tings can be saved on a USB stick.

In addition to the classic colorimetric evaluation
systems, the CM-5 offers measurement results of
liquids to be evaluated in terms of industry speci-

c indices (colour scales) such as Gardner, Iodine,
Hazen (APHA), European and US Pharmacopeia.
