ultra-low
Bottom of scale
Ultra-low describes something at the extreme bottom of a scale, significantly below what would merely be called low.
It appears most often in technical and commercial contexts: ultra-low interest rates, ultra-low emissions, ultra-low latency.
The prefix intensifies low to suggest a degree that approaches the minimum possible or practical limit.
The new freezer operates at ultra-low temperatures for long-term specimen storage.
