(Konica Minolta: Ramsey, NJ) -- Konica Minolta Sensing Americas Inc. (KMSA), a global leader in the industrial measurement of color, light, and shape, has launched its newest benchtop spectrophotometers, the CM-3600A and the CM-3610A.

The CM-3600A spectrophotometer is a versatile instrument that can handle a variety of applications for measuring reflectance and transmittance of solids. With optional accessories, the spectrophotometer can also measure the transmittance of liquids. Yet it remains surprisingly compact, with a footprint approximately the same as a laptop computer so it won’t clutter up your desk. Its sample holder opens a full 90° for easy positioning of samples, and is equipped with a “soft close” mechanism that prevents it from slamming shut or damaging samples. The cover of the sample viewer is equipped with a mirror, enabling the sample position to be checked without moving from your seat.

The CM-3610A provides a different kind of versatility in a vertical-format, bottom-port spectrophotometer. Its piston-type sample holder makes sample positioning simple.
