Low Temperature Asher



A chemist friend at NIOSH is working with a very old ( 20-25 years) Low
Temperature Asher (LTA) manufactured by International Plasma Corporation
(Model #   PM-1640).  This device uses an RF generator and a low pressure
pure oxygen environment to ash samples.  No manual is available.

Questions for RADSAFE:

Is this unit a high power RF/microwave device?

It has been out of use for quite some time.  Should the device be surveyed
for leakage?

Should the device and the area be posted?

Any other precautions?

Thanking you in advance,
