Customer Support
All Protasis systems are certified at the factory and then installed and recertified at your facility. Then we’;ll train all operators and show you how to get the best results from your probe or automation sytem. With this solid preparation, we find that most follow-up questions can be handled by telephone or by remote WebEx or VNC sessions.  We can offer guided tutorials and suggest interactive diagnostics. Most software updates can now be handled remotely. Thus, Protasis support staff can resolve most customer concerns quickly.  Networking provides you with fast access to technical support personnel. If a problem is identified that requires hardware repairs, we will typically isolate the problem to a probe or fluidic or computer module. Probes are shipped to Savoy, Illinois and computers, sample loaders and solvent conditioners are shipped to Marlborough, MA for servicing.  Protasis responds to all repairs with a sense of urgency to provide the shortest downtime possible. We are committed to providing the highest quality support services for our growing customer base of process and research instruments worldwide.
Field Installations and Performance Maintenance
After the initial probe installation, Protasis Service is available for additional visits to optimize results (e.g., create probe shim files).
Remote Diagnostics
Protasis can use WebEx or VNC to access your Instrument Server or spectrometer computer. From there we can run diagnostics, guide tutorials, or upgrade software. We can even shim probes remotely.
