Supplier of colour measurement equipment has established a specialised colour analysis service that is available on a test by test basis or as an outsource facility
Many circumstances exist where some form of colour measurement is necessary to quantify and assess a product's colour or where colour is an indirect measure of product quality or processing performance.
However, industry standards and specifications for colour measurement vary widely by product type, depending on colour characteristics and historical acceptance, and companies cannot always justify investment in measuring equipment for single or intermittent demand.
With this in mind, Tintometer, a supplier of colour measurement equipment, has established the Colour Laboratory, a specialised colour analysis service that is available on a test by test basis or as an outsource facility to companies around the world.
Tintometer's Colour Laboratory is a flexible service that is suitable for a broad range of sample types, such as edible, mineral, and industrial oils, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, household and personal care products, foodstuffs and beverages, waters and effluents.
Using experienced colorimetry technicians and master instruments to obtain the colour data, Tintometer's Colour Laboratory can carry out measurements to all relevant British, European, International and other trade standards and specifications.
All samples are measured under the control of Tintometer's ISO 9001:2000 quality management system.
In addition, Tintometer has been awarded Ukas (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) accreditation as a calibration laboratory for spectral response and CIE measurements.
As a result, it can supply colour measurement data that are directly traceable to national standards.
Colour analysis and observations are conducted using methodology specified by the customer, which is supplied with a Colour Laboratory report stating the instrument used, colour values obtained by sample reference, measurement conditions and observations.
