Basic Devices - MPA Systems

Multi Probe Adapter

• Advantages of the MPA System

  • Measurement system exactly suitable for your needs and can be enlarged as you go along.

  • The probes provide a high degree of flexibility and stability and can be easily serviced.

  • The MPA system is operated with an overall C+K software MPA CTplus (license-based).

  • With a check calibration function the accuracy of the probes can be verified any time. The result can be saved and printed for your documentation.

  • The data from the ambient condition sensor RHT 400 are saved with the measurements.

  • All future C+K probes will be compatible with this system.

• Which probes can be connected?

  Select a basic system and work with the following probes:

   

  • Corneometer® CM 825: Skin Surface Hydration

  • Sebumeter® SM 815: Sebum on the Skin Surface

  • Skin-pH-Meter® PH 905: pH-Measurement

  • Mexameter® MX 18: Melanin & Erythema

  • Tewameter® TM Hex and Triple TM 330T
  • Invitro Tewameter® VT 310: Transepidermal Waterloss (TEWL)

  • Cutometer® Dual MPA 580: Viscoelasticity by Suction

  • Skin-Thermo-Meter® ST 500: Skin Temperature

  • Skin Glossymeter® GL 200: Skin and hair gloss appearance

  • Skin Colorimeter® Flex CL 440: Colour of skin and hair

  • Frictiometer® FR 700: Friction measurements on the skin

  • Ambient condition sensor RHT 400: recording the ambient conditions (r.H and temperature) constantly during the measurement

  

• Which basic systems are available?

  As the MPA systems do not have any display, they have to be operated with software.

   

  Multiprobe Adapter MPA 6: inbuilt Sebumeter® and possibility of connecting any probes (up to 5, but not Cutometer®) with external power supply, operation with the C+K software MPA CTplus.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

  Multiprobe Adapter MPA 10: inbuilt Sebumeter® and possibility of connecting any probes (up to 9, but not Cutometer®) with external power supply, operation with the C+K software MPA CTplus.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

  Cutometer® Dual MPA 580: Measurement of the skin's viscoelasticity by suction created by a vacuum pump inside the device. The Cutometer® features a built-in Sebumeter® and the possibility to connect up to 4 additional C+K-probes. The device is delivered with one Cutometer® probe (2 mm standard Ø opening), accessories and software. A second additional Cutometer® probe can be connected. You can work with both probes simultaneously in the C+K software MPA CTplus.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

  MPA 2: connect any two probes (but not Cutometer®), no additional power supply needed, just connect it to the PC via USB, operation with the C+K software MPA CTplus.

  

  

  

  

• Standalone Devices

  • the MDD device comes with one specific probe and the Ambient Condition Sensor

  • up to two additional probes can also be connected to the system

  • it features a large, illuminated colour display for showing results in figures and curves

  • operation with C+K software MPA CTplus only optional

  • available for most probes

  

  

  

  

• Wireless Probes

  Almost all C+K probes are also available as wireless, battery operated probes, sending the measurement data via radio directly into a special software MPA WLplus. The small receiver unit RR 200 is connected to the computer via USB. The values can be transmitted from a distance of 5-10 m. The following probes are available as wireless:

  Corneometer® CM 825, Mexameter® MX 18, Tewameter® TM 300, Skin-Thermo-Meter® ST 500, Skin Glossymeter® GL 200, Skin-Colorimeter® Flex CL 440, Skin-pH-Meter® pH 905

  

  

  

• MPA CTplus software

  • This software is a revolutionary step into a modern use of the C+K probe family and offers a variety of  convenient features to facilitate your work.
  • For the first time Cutometer® and all other scientific C+K probes can be operated in one software easily and conveniently.
  • Convenient, intuitive, modern software, easy to navigate.
  • Graphical display of the measurements and numerical result values side by side.
  • Easy and self-explanatory check calibration function for the probes with report.
  • All information go into the database, convenient possibility of filtering the data you want to export for statistical analysis with special export assistant.
