Zeltex, LLC announces the latest in their line of ZX-101 Portable Fuel Analysers, the ZX-101SQ.  The ZX-101SQ combines the proven reliability and lab accuracy of the previous model, the ZX-101XL, that thousands of customers currently rely on.  The SQ is upgraded with improved Near Infra-red optics (NIR) as well as a much easier user interface.  Quickly analyses for octane, cetane, percent ethanol, and biodiesel percentages.  This new analyser will enable you to get fast sample analysis to determine your fuel quality at the pump, in the field, or in the lab.

The ZX-101SQ has an increased wavelength range for more accuracy with biodiesel and ethanol analysis with improved (14 to 16) calibrations and accuracy (particularly for Biodiesel). This instrument’s optical range has been increased to (810nm – 1045nm) from (893nm – 1045nm) with the previous models in the range. This analyser also includes an automatic fuel type detection option which reduces operator error, a

2-piece filter tray (not one piece) adds longer filter life span (approx. 25 y) and the larger colour display with graphic instructions and the enhanced user interface and printer controls further improve the ZX-101SQ's ease of use. Zeltex have also expanded the memory of stored, analysed samples from 25 to 100 samples having integrated a next generation computer board. This unit is protected by a Pelican military-spec carrying case and a 1-year warranty is standard.
