Skin Analysis Software
CM-SA
NEW
For applications in the R&D divisions of cosmetic, functional food,
and pharmaceutical companies developing products with “skin-
lightening” eects, commissioned clinical testing organizations, and
research institutes for dermatology, plastic surgery, etc.
Simultaneous Measurement of
Skin Color and Melanin Index
Used in combination with a Konica Minolta spectrophotometer, the CM-SA enables
highly accurate measurement of skin color simultaneously with a numerical display
of the Melanin Index, Hb (Hemoglobin) Index, and Hb SO2(Hemoglobin oxygen
saturation) Index (%).
For quantitative evaluation & analysis of skin color and pigmentation

Realizing Simultaneous
Measurement of Skin
Color and Melanin Index!
By using this software in combination with a spectrophotometer, Melanin Index, Hb Index, and Hb SO2
Index can be measured simultaneously with spectral reflectance and colorimetric values in a single
operation. There is no need to separately measure the color of skin and Melanin Index using dierent
instruments, as was previously necessary.

Combining the Melanin Measurement Function
with a Spectrophotometer
In the field of skin research and development, there is an increasing demand to measure the color
and pigmentation of skin as it provides valuable information on a number of factors. For example,
where cosmetics are concerned companies are aiming to make products that more closely match or
complement the skin tone of clients. In pharmaceutical research and development, skin measurement
can be used to determine the eects of suntanning on skin and in the prevention of sunburn.
The software provides important factors of skin data: color, melanin, hemoglobin and oxgen saturation.
This software employs an original algorithm to separately calculate Melanin Index, Hb Index, and Hb
SO2Index (%) based on the spectral reectance data measured by a spectrophotometer, enabling highly
accurate measurement of melanin pigmentation level of the skin without being aected by skin redness.

Can be used for consecutive measurements, enabling ecient measurements of a number of examinees.
Data can be easily grouped by examinee
The CM-SA features a function to automatically switch groups by
examinee. When a preset number of measurements is reached, the next
measurement data can be linked to the next group.
(Useful for consecutive measurements on a number of examinees)
Example
When there are Examinees 1, 2, and 3, and the number of measurements
is set to 3, the group is automatically changed to the next one every three
measurements, and the data is linked to the relevant group (examinee).
Output of measured data in CSV text format
The measurement results can be output in CSV text format to be
utilized for further analysis or data management using Excel® or other
spreadsheet applications.

After three measurements
are completed, the group is
automatically switched to the
next group to store the data
for the fourth measurement.
(Useful for applications at laboratory testing institutes)
The handheld CM-700d/CM-600d enables
simple operations while standing.
Simple measurement
Measurement can be performed by simply
placing the head of spectrophotometer
against the skin and pressing the button.

face, arm, or other desired part of the body
will not put undue stress on the examinees.
Featuring Bluetooth®
The Bluetooth® function of
Spectrophotometer CM-700d/CM-600d enables
wireless transmission of measured data
to the PC, offering greater flexibility for
measurements without the constraints of
communication cables.
