The discovery of dangerous and deadly refrigerant blends in the R134a supply prompted expedited development of an R40 capable instrument.

Neutronics Inc. announces the successful completion of development and pending release, of the world's first R40 capable Refrigerant Analyzer for use with R134a systems. Neutronics refrigerant analyzers are used worldwide to verify the type and purity of refrigerant in both MVAC and HVAC applications.

"The development of an R40 capable refrigerant analyzer demonstrates our commitment to support an ever changing marketplace and keep dangerous counterfeit refrigerants out of the refrigerant supply. Neutronics has been, and remains, the global leader in refrigerant analysis and this development demonstrates our continuing commitment to be at the forefront of this technology," said Gary Halpern, President, Neutronics Inc.

The discovery of dangerous and deadly refrigerant blends in the R134a supply prompted the expedited development of an R40 capable instrument. Every industry including passenger vehicles, shipping containers, commercial systems and military applications have been exposed to these dangerous counterfeits.
