Hypothesis
A method of costing analysis is proposed to compare the costs of different instruments for a given workload.
Conclusion
A simple costing analysis has been developed to compare instrument running costs for a specific workload, but full application requires a computer program.
Supporting Evidence
- A method of costing analysis is proposed to compare the costs of different instruments for a given workload.
- The procedure is kept simple by only considering variable costs.
- Ten instruments capable of similar analyses were compared.
Takeaway
This study created a way to compare how much different machines cost to run for the same job, but you need a computer to use it fully.
Methodology
The costing analysis considers only variable costs between different analyzers and applies it to ten instruments.
Limitations
The full application of the costing analysis can only be realized through a computer program.
