CM-SA2 Skin Analysis Software
The Konica Minolta CM-SA2 skin analysis software delivers precise, easy-to-use tools for measuring various skin health indices. Building on the success of its predecessor, the CM-SA, this upgraded model introduces advanced features that offer significant advantages across industries and sectors like cosmetics, skincare, dermatology, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals.

With the CM-SA2, users can simultaneously measure key skin parameters such as Skin Color, Melanin Index, Hemoglobin Index (Hb), Hemoglobin Oxygen Saturation Index (Hb SO2), and Individual Typology Angle (ITA°). Its seamless integration with the Spectrophotometer CM-17d’s camera viewfinder ensures accurate positioning and easy alignment of the measurement target. Each captured image is automatically saved and linked to the respective data, allowing users to verify measurement positions later through the stored visuals.

The software also streamlines data management with its flexible, user-friendly interface. Users can easily customize measurement parameters and conditions to suit their specific needs, adding or removing fields as required. Additionally, all measurement data can be effortlessly exported for further analysis or processing in Excel® or similar spreadsheet applications.

*1: Munsell data care calculated for 2° observer and Standard Illuminant C.
*2: Colorimetric values for each axis can be selected from L*, a*, b*, C*, and h.
*3: Illuminant / Observer can be select from one of the four conditions. ( 2°/C, 2°/D65, 10°/C, 10°/D65 )
*4: The spectral reflectance data is obtained in SCI (Specular component included) mode and can only be displayed in CSV file format (output is 400 nm to 700 nm).
*5: The image is only displayed for data measured with the CM-17d connected and the Save Viewfinder image with measurement setting turned on.
*6: Instrument with older firmware may not be supported. To check compatible firmware versions for supported instruments, please visit: https://www.konicaminolta.com/instruments/download/software/color/cmsa2/index.html
*7: The hardware of the computer system must meet or exceed the greater of the recommended system requirements for the compatible OS being used or the above specifications.
