Capacity | High-throughput labs (e.g., clinical testing) | Industry: 500ml (handles 25 samples/hr) Base: 1000ml (▲ doubles to 50 samples/hr, ISO 15197) Advanced: 2000ml (▲▲ quadruples to 100 samples/hr) | Base improves throughput by 100% vs Industry; Advanced triples Industry capacity | Advanced requires more space/power; higher upfront cost |
Noise Level | Quiet labs or shared facilities | Industry: 50 dBA (louder than office chatter) Base: 45 dBA (▲ 45 dBA, ISO 9612) Advanced: 40 dBA (▲▲ library-quiet, 40 dBA) | Base reduces noise by 10%; Advanced cuts noise by 20% vs Industry | Advanced may have higher cost due to sound-dampening tech |
Material Construction | Corrosive environments (e.g., chemical labs) | Industry: Aluminum (prone to corrosion, ASTM B209) Base: 304 Stainless Steel (▲ ASTM A240) Advanced: 316 Stainless Steel (▲▲ marine-grade, ASTM A240) | Base resists common acids; Advanced withstands harsh chemicals like nitric acid | Advanced material increases cost by ~20–30% |
Automation Level | High-volume labs needing minimal supervision | Industry: Manual operation Base: Semi-automatic (▲ pre-set programs, ISO 13408) Advanced: Fully automatic with touchscreen (▲▲ AI-driven, ISO 13408-2) | Base reduces manual steps by 50%; Advanced automates 90% of tasks | Advanced requires operator training; software maintenance costs |
Compliance Certifications | EU-based labs requiring strict regulations | Industry: CE only Base: CE + EPR Germany (▲) Advanced: CE + EPR + ISO 13485 (▲▲ medical-grade) | Base meets EU standards; Advanced adds medical compliance for clinical use | Advanced may need additional validation for niche markets |
Processing Time | Time-sensitive research projects | Industry: 24h standard (ISO 15197) Base: 12h (▲ 50% faster) Advanced: 8h (▲▲ 66% faster) | Base halves processing time; Advanced reduces by 66% vs Industry | Advanced may need more frequent maintenance due to faster cycles |
