Advantages and inconveniences of the portable device compared to a standard benchtop apparatus

Benchtop	Portable
Advantages
Control over ambient parameters	Transportability (small, light, handheld)
Higher voltages available	Flexibility in use (e.g. direction, target type)
Accuracy on voltage and flow rate	In situ spinning/spraying
Safety management	Manual spinning/spraying
	Battery powered
	Affordable
	Medical applications
Inconveniences
Difficult to transport	Limited by performance of converter
Need for power source	Limited by capacity of batteries
Lack of flexibility	Fixed cartridge size
Expensive
