InBody 270: when to consider it

The original InBody270 gives a quick overview of fat, muscle and their distribution. It suits regular diet and training consultations, including testing at different locations. Its output coverage differs from the newer 270S.

seca mBCA Alpha: when to consider it

mBCA Alpha is an eight-point BIA analyser using nine frequencies. Documentation lists a 24-second recording, 360 kg capacity and fat, skeletal-muscle mass and phase-angle outputs. The Alpha configuration contains the mBCA 554 platform and mBCA 545 handle.

Fat-free mass is not pure muscle mass. A single result is not a diagnosis. Different devices and similarly named metrics may use definitions that are not interchangeable.
