S.No | Mobile Lab | OtherConventional Labs |
1 | Portable and rugged device | Non portable and highly sensitive device |
2 | It is a whole clinical biochemistry laboratory that is handy and easily transportable, Lab in a box, it contain all instruments where Biochemical Analyzer is only one component.
|
Requires at least a room for the set up, with lot of stringent condition
Biochemistry analyzer is a machine on which we can read the concentration of biochemical parameters of blood. |
3 | It contains Biochemistry Analyzer, Centrifuge, Incubator, Data Recorder with Patient Data Management Software, Micropipettes ,
4 Cuvette Boxes, Tip Box. It has a proper place for each and every component of Lab |
Here all other required components has to be bought separately. Lot of infrastructure is required to run a room lab |
4 | Customer will have 1 service provider | Different vendors are involved |
5 | Low voltage Consumption | High voltage required (400watt-5000watt) |
6 | Customizable: external power back up via battery packs and Solar Panel. | No Back up |
7 | The whole lab can operate using a solar panel/battery for 24hrs with v. low cost | High investment on space and power |
8 | Temperature should not be maintained (no warm up and cooling time for operations), independent of humidity Lab designed from 0 deg to 50 deg C | Stringent conditions needed to maintain temperature and humidity for usage, there is warm up and cooling time |
9 | LED technology is used which prevents break downs | Lamps are used (Halogen) which is prone to frequent breakdowns |
10 | Maintenance free | Not maintenance free |
11 | Running Cost is low because of following factors
1) Blood collection cost (no vials, transportation of sample, anti coagulants) 2) Power Consumption is less |
Running cost is high |
