A negative result in the doctor test ensures that the concentration of these compounds is insufficient to cause such problems in normal use.
Product Positioning
For qualitative active-sulfur screening in fuel, solvent and distillate oil laboratories, the package provides a complete setup of constant-temperature water bath, amber glassware, stoppered shaking vessels, and transfer / filtration / dispensing / labeling accessories. Reagents and fume hood are not included; customers prepare sodium plumbite, sulfur powder, reference samples and PPE on site according to the method.
