Designed for ultra-low level sulfur analysis of diesel, petrol (gasoline) and other fuels, the Rigaku Micro-Z ULS features a novel design that measures both the sulfur peak and the background intensity. The ability to measure and correct for changes in background intensity delivers a better net peak intensity measurement, resulting in superior calibrations and enhanced real world precision. With a lower limit of detection (LLD) of 0.3 ppm S, it complies with ASTM 2622-10, ISO 20884 and JIS K2541-7 methods.
