GasWorks Process Analysis Software

Powerful interface for Thermo Scientific process mass spectrometers used for gas analysis


Thermo Scientific GasWorks Process Analysis Software provides a powerful interface for the Thermo Scientific Prima PRO, Prima BT, Sentinel PRO, and APIX δQ Mass Spectrometers. The software has been designed to ensure that the process analyzer is simple to configure, operate and maintain without any prior mass spectrometer experience, and supports stand-alone analyzer operation.

 

The suite includes a wide range of functions and features. Whether the requirement is for a simple alarm indication in the event of a manufacturing process failure, or for complex data presentation for process understanding and control, Gasworks Software is well equipped to offer an effective solution.

  • Sample streams: Sets no limits to the number of sample streams or analytical methods. In addition to performing complex gas analysis, the analyzer can be set to provide analog or histogram scans. The histogram scan can be used to investigate the composition of a selected sample stream and can be included in the analytical schedule.
  • Security: Multi-layered security with expiring passwords and audit trail.  Several different user groups are defined by the system administrator. Each group can be provided with a configurable set of access permissions. The administrator is given the option of limiting the number of password retries, assigning an expiration date for passwords, enabling an audit trail, and setting automatic log out.
  • Data: Includes rigorous mathematical equations to deconvolute complex mixtures. Supports the integration of third-party analytical data. All data is stored as a CSV file. GasWorks Software has its own data review program that can be installed on an office PC and reviewed offline.
  • Languages: Ability to perform dynamic language switching without having to shut down and restart the software. Available languages are English, Chinese, French, German, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.
  • Compliance: Information is provided to aid in the running of the Gasworks Software in a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant environment. It should be noted that system qualification, validation and implementation of standard operating procedures are essential elements of Part 11 compliance that cannot be achieved through software functionality alone. While many of the requirements in the regulations are addressed by Gasworks Software features, all aspects of the system must be validated by the customer or their designee.
