Colour Measurement of Solid and Powdered Pharmaceutical Products
HunterLab colour measurement devices quickly and accurately measure deviations in whiteness (Whiteness Index) and yellowness (Yellowness Index). Colour values in reflectance and transmission can be measured reliably and precisely in medications and concentrates, as well as in powders, tablets, capsules, and transparent, translucent, and opaque samples. Soaps and other (solid/pressed) decorative cosmetic products are also tested for colour to ensure quality and safety. For companies operating in FDA-regulated sectors, HunterLab offers not only measuring instruments but also software solutions compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 (including electronic record-keeping).
