The BOD POD is the world’s only Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP) system using whole body densitometric principles to determine body composition (Fat and Fat-Free Mass) and Thoracic Gas Volume in adults and children.

BIA SECA® mBCA 515 is a validated method to measure the difference in electrical conductivity between the body’s muscle and fat tissue. The 4-compartment measurement includes fat-free mass, skeletal muscle mass, a body composition chart, phase angle, and body water percentage.

BIA Tanita® MC780 is a 4-compartment measurement system that uses advanced bioelectrical impedance analysis technology to provide highly accurate calculations of fat mass, lean mass (muscle), bone mineral density, and total body water.
