Product Description
Discover Precisa’s TGA Instrument
The prepASH advances your research by optimizing workflows, ensuring compliance with different regulations, and enhancing safety in all areas.
The Series 340 prepASH® thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) revolutionizes the measurement of moisture, ash, and loss on ignition by automating the entire process, significantly reducing workload and costs. This all-in-one device combines a furnace and high-precision balance with automation to handle up to 29 samples simultaneously,
Designed for full autonomy, the prepASH operates without needing an additional PC. Users benefit from the efficiency of running analyses during off-hours, with continuous monitoring and automatic recording of results. This system’s intuitive, high-resolution touch screen simplifies operation, allowing for easy control and automatic chamber management.
With its innovative design, the prepASH reduces the error potential inherent in traditional methods involving separate drying and muffle ovens, and precision balances. It smartly integrates these functions into a single unit, streamlining the thermogravimetric analysis process.
For the sulfated ash market, prepASH is particularly beneficial due to a combination of compliance, safety, and efficiency.
Compliance with ALCOA+ and CFR21 Part 11
Protect your data with secure profiles and audit trails.
Password protected user profiles with defined access levels for different user types (such as administrator and user). Adaptable password protection allows you to create password expiration date, cap the number login attempts, and set a minimum password length.
A detailed audit trail is automatically generated for accountability in all measures. Easily search the audit trail for specific entries or export the data, with the option to add in manual entries.
These features, part of our standalone, built-in operating system: user-defined profiles, password-protected and defined with different access controls, ensure that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive data and functionalities, enhancing data security.
Secure Data Transfer
Maintain data integrity in all measures, for data storage, import, and export.
Various data transfer options are available for both the results of the run and the audit trail information, whilst maintaining the highest level of data integrity. Data can also be transferred into LIMS.
Report Generation
Adaptable report generation to suit your needs.
Included with prepASH, our free prepDATA software* allows for extensive data evaluation of your results, with customizable layouts to include a header, customized logo, and analysis data inclusion.
prepDATA software allows you to adapt the results to suit your needs, such as changing the loss of moisture from a percent to a grams measurement.
*prepDATA is not compliant with CFR 21 part 11. prepASH can be used without prepDATA.
Remote Monitoring
Monitor your run without needing to be in the lab
prepASH can be connected to your network through the ethernet interface. You can remotely monitor the status of your run. It is possible to monitor multiple prepASH devices simultaneously.
Maximum Safety for Users
Safety features protect users during analysis
One huge challenge that individuals face when carrying out traditional thermogravimetric analysis user safety.
Users are working with very high temperatures (up to 1000 degrees) which can be detrimental. The prepASH completely eliminates the risk to user – as the full run is completed within the prepASH unit, significantly increasing user safety.
When completing sulfated ash application, sulfuric acid is released. If not disposed of correctly, this poses great risk to users. The prepASH scrubber takes care of this for your, allowing you to safely and efficiently complete all sulfated ash applications.
prepASH software ensures you compliance in all measures. No compromises are needed, the prepASH provides compliance, safety, and efficiency all within one unit.
