CM-SA Skin Analysis Software
The CA-SA skin analysis software works in combination with Konica Minolta spectrophotometers to measure the color of skin simultaneously with a numerical display of the Melanin Index, Hemoglobin (Hb) Index, and Hemoglobin oxygen saturation (Hb SO2) Index. When used with our CM-700D/CM-600D spectrophotometer, measurements can be performed simply by applying the instrument lightly to the subject’s skin and pressing a button.
This software is extremely useful in the field of skin research and development due to the increasing demand for these measurements. For example, such measurements are utilized in matching cosmetics and measuring sun tanning effects on skin to prevent damage. This instrument and software combination is ideal for taking highly-accurate readings of melanin pigmentation without it being affected by the skin’s redness.
Data can easily be grouped by examinee; simply preset the number of measurements that are needed per person. Once that number is reached, it begins grouping the next set for the following examinee. Data can be output in CSV text format for further analysis or management using Excel or another spreadsheet program.
- Easy to use- simply lightly place instrument on skin and press a button to measure
- Portable- can be used wirelessly, or with an AC adapter; small handheld designed instruments are compatible with the software
- Bluetooth- can communicate wirelessly to a PC or printer
- Easily group data- can measure a number of examinees consecutively when a number of measurements per person is preset into the device
- Output in CSV text format- can be easily formatted or managed using Excel or other spreadsheet programs
- Three Index calculations- Melanin, Hb (Hemoglobin), and Hb SO2 (Hemoglobin oxygen saturation
