When to Pick IPS7000-5
Pick the IPS7000-5 when:
- Mid-throughput parallel workflow — 5 stations match buffer-prep / titration / dissolution batch scale
- IPS7000 family standardization preferred over H3715 single-chassis
- Workflow growth path — ability to upgrade to IPS7000-10 within same family
Stay with IPS7000-3 ($1,187) for 3-station throughput workflows.
Step up to IPS7000-10 ($2,084) for production-scale 10-station workflows.
