prepASH 229 Macro-Thermogravimetric Ash analyzer

We are delighted to announce that the prepASH has been upgraded for 2024. New for 2024 – the prepASH 229 software upgrade now includes full compliance with Alcoa+ / CFR 21 pt. 11, an improved audit trail, fully reactive navigation, prepDATA (Multi-prepASH monitoring), and fast result calculation. The prepASH is our automatic ashing and drying system (Macro-Thermogravimetric analyser (TGA)) and is suitable for 29 or 12 samples. We are certain the new improvements to our software will ensure our instrument is the best on the market. These new software features are particularly relevant and suitable to the following applications: Pharmaceutical Lab Equipment, Academia, Forensic, Biology, Life Science, Quality Control, Agriculture & Environmental, Clinical, Coal, Cement, Grain, Catalyst, Food analysis

Precisa’s Swiss made prepASH 229 consists of a muffle furnace, an analytical balance, and advanced software using a touch-screen user interface. Weighing curves are recorded over time for each individual test sample. This permits automatic end-point determination and control during the entirety of the drying and ashing process. No additional computer is needed. The prepASH provides higher precision and reproducibility of the results through considerable improvements on manual procedures. This is an instrument where no technology transfer data loss occurs and where the entire process is monitored and recorded from start to finish. In one working cycle, up to 29 specimens and a reference pan are ached fully automatically in accordance with the latest quality guidelines, monitored and recorded within a wide temperature range of 50° to 1000°C. Safety and reliability in the storage of fundamental data and operating parameters are guaranteed.
