Skin melanin analysis system Mexameter® MX 18

Assessing Melanin Content and Erythema Level The Mexameter® MX 18 is a very easy, quick and economical tool to measure the two components, mainly responsible for the colour of the skin: melanin and haemoglobin (erythema) by reflectance. Advantages of the Mexameter® Very quick and easy measurement (1 second for the results: melanin index and erythema index). Continuous measurements over a longer period can optionally be performed. The highly sensitive measurement gives values on a broad scale (0-999) for melanin and erythema so that even smallest changes in colour become traceable. The probe is small and lightweight for easy handling and measurement on all body sites. A spring in the probe head ensures constant pressure on the skin enabling exact, reproducible measurements. The accuracy of the Mexameter® probe can be checked easily anytime. The probe head can easily be cleaned after each measurement. Worldwide established and used in many scientific studies.
