Analyzer Comparison: FIA680 vs FIA880¶
1. Side-by-Side Comparison¶
| Parameter | FIA680 | FIA880 |
|---|---|---|
| Channels | Single-channel | Six-channel |
| Throughput | 1 test / run | Up to 6 tests / run |
| Sample types | Serum, plasma, whole blood | Serum, plasma, whole blood |
| Excitation | LED | LED |
| Detection | Photodiode | Photodiode / PMT |
| Calibration | Pre-loaded standard curve (QR) | Cloud standard-curve sync |
| Data output | Concentration + qualitative flag | Concentration + qualitative flag |
| Best for | Low-volume clinics | High-volume clinics / multi-analyte panels |
2. Choosing the Right Analyzer¶
| Scenario | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Low-volume clinic (< 10 tests/day) | FIA680 (single-channel, lower cost) |
| High-volume clinic (10+ tests/day) | FIA880 (six-channel, parallel runs) |
| Multi-analyte panels (CRP + SDMA + NT-proBNP) | FIA880 (run 6 at once) |
| Mobile / field use | FIA680 (compact) |
3. Shared Platform Benefits¶
Both analyzers run the same Migibio FICT assay menu, so:
- Same reference ranges and cutoffs apply across platforms.
- Same LOD/CV% performance (assay-dependent, not analyzer-dependent).
- Results are cross-comparable between FIA680 and FIA880.
