Partnership program between Mettler Toledo and Konica Minolta

Mettler Toledo and Konica Minolta Sensing have decided to join forces with a strategic partnership in the field of multiparameter analysis for the food and flavours, and fragrances industry.

The partnership will bundle the CM-5 or CR-5 Spectrophotometer from Konica Minolta with the density, refractive index and pH instruments from Mettler Toledo to provide a complete system for automatic quality monitoring of raw materials and finished goods. The newly integrated systems allow for the sampling, cleaning and drying of whole systems to be done automatically, saving time and increasing overall productivity of manufacturers.

The partnership program is in response to trends towards workflow automation, driven by the need to increase throughput and improve safety and data quality for multiparametric evaluations. During quality monitoring of raw materials, intermediate and finished products in foods, as well as flavours and fragrances, it is essential that the specific gravity, refractive index and pH value are accurately determined. In addition, the need to precisely monitor and control the colour of samples has become increasingly important.
