QC CELL®
Wet quality control: color, density and viscosity in a single analysis
QC CELL®
Complete QC analysis in about 5 minutes
QC CELL® is a quality control cell that measures wet properties in real time: viscosity, density and color (L*a*b*, ΔE) directly in the liquid sample, with optional integration of pH and conductivity sensors.
It automates critical wet methods, eliminates operator influence on QC measurements and speeds up batch release. Available for the lab and for in-line integration, within an Industry 4.0 architecture.
Exclusive technology, developed and patented by RMA TECH.
Dynamic analysis, from the lab to the production line
During the analysis, the sample recirculates under temperature conditioning, ensuring representative and reproducible readings. At the end of the test, the sample is recovered.
Compatible with waterborne and solventborne paints, with no cross-contamination between tests.
Integrated color intelligence
The integrated spectrophotometer builds a color database and generates data-driven adjustment recommendations, for solid and effect colors.
Automatic cleaning
Automatic cleaning at the end of every test: more productivity, less manual intervention and lower operating costs.
Sustainability in practice
The sample is recovered at the end of the test, reducing waste and supporting more sustainable industrial practices.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Why choose QC CELL®?
1. Color, density and viscosity in one analysis
Measures viscosity, density and color directly in the liquid sample, with optional pH and conductivity sensors. Results in about 5 minutes, with lab-grade precision.
2. Effect pigments: metallic and pearlescent
Multi-angle spectrophotometer to measure paints with effect pigments as well as solid colors, with no extra steps or rework.
3. Clean, reproducible results
Temperature conditioning, sample recirculation and automatic cleaning eliminate cross-contamination and operator-to-operator variation.
4. Flexible integration
Integrates with the spectrophotometer the customer already owns and adapts to the lab or the production line. It is the foundation for QC FLOW®, with automatic, continuous in-line adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does QC CELL® measure?
In a single wet analysis, QC CELL® measures viscosity, density and color (L*a*b*, ΔE), with optional pH and conductivity sensors. With its multi-angle spectrophotometer, it also measures paints with metallic and pearlescent effect pigments.
Does it work with waterborne and solventborne paints?
Yes. QC CELL® is compatible with waterborne and solventborne paints. Automatic cleaning at the end of each test prevents cross-contamination between samples.
What is the difference between QC CELL® and TRANSMICELL®?
They are complementary instruments. TRANSMICELL® measures tinting strength, hiding power and pigment dispersion by transmission. QC CELL® measures the product’s color, density and viscosity. Together, they cover quality control and process adjustment, the main bottleneck in paint production.
