Note from asker to answerer
Some reference or more detailed explanation might have assured you of a higher score. But it makes more sense in my context than "remove". It would seem, then, that "abpräparieren" and "präparieren" are pretty much the same. Thank you for your response. And thanks to Jonathan as well.
