The Neutronics Ultima ID Refrigerant Identifier Makes Refrigerant Identification a Snap

Neutronics Refrigerant Analysis, a leading innovator of automotive A/C service technology offers its new advanced Ultima ID Refrigerant Identifier to automotive shops as the first line tool for safe and profitable mobile A/C service. The innovative, state-of-the-art refrigerant identifier can help prevent the contamination of a shop’s 134a supply, damage and warranty loss on recovery equipment, lost service profits and even risk of injury.

Refrigerant Contamination a Major Concern for Shops
According to Peter Coll, Neutronics Refrigerant Analysis sales manager, “Refrigerant contamination is one of the biggest issues now confronting our industry. The increasing cost of AC service, the lack of federal guidelines, and increasing DIY usage has opened the door to a variety of refrigerant substitutes, including propane, HC-hydrocarbon and 134a mixtures. These are not only potentially harmful to shops, but to the technicians as well. Today, you can’t afford to guess at the quality of refrigerant in the cars you service. You need to know exactly what’s in that AC system before you work on it.”

Leading Edge Technology
The Neutronics Ultima ID is the fastest, most advanced identifier on the market. It uses Neutronics leading edge infrared refrigerant gas analysis technology and exclusive “Blend ID” software designed to identify all EPA S.N.A.P. approved refrigerants in addition to R12, R134a, R22, HC and Air. Ultima ID is ergonomically designed, lightweight, simple to use and has an extra large, easy-to-read LCD display.

Prints Test Receipt for Easy Customer Billing
Ultima ID has an optional built-in printer that creates a test receipt so a shop can easily bill the customer and get paid for its work. An optional internal battery also makes the Ultima ID exceptionally portable, so it can be used anywhere.
