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.
