# Advanced

This space covers the advanced features of BactoBox®: advanced sample preparation, the details behind your measurements, and do-it-yourself (DIY) accessories for high-volume or special use cases.

{% hint style="info" %}
Prefer the standard SBT parts when you can. They save you time and avoid extra QC steps. Reach for a DIY option only when it fits your workflow better.
