Any ideas on how to distinguish between these two? The context is a list of services offered by a process engineering company.
"...Modifizierung und Herstellung neuer vom Kunden angeregter Produkte im Probe- und Mustermaßstab."
"...Modifizierung und Herstellung neuer vom Kunden angeregter Produkte im Probe- und Mustermaßstab."

Comment: "Thanks Christine and to Steffen for the extra research. In this case I was able to get some further information from the client, pointing to another relevant difference alongside (quantity): "Proben [sind] z.B. einige Gramm oder auch mal einige 100g, während Muster größere Mengen sind[...]. Außerdem
sind Proben meist im Labor hergestellt, während Muster aus dem eigentlichen Prozess kommen.""

See http://info.uibk.ac.at/c/c7/c722/ AdvancedMaterials/AdvancedMaterials.pdf -
"... Das Institut verfügt über die erforderliche textilspezifische Analytik (Farbortmessung, FTIR, GC, AAS, HPLC), für Naß- und Trockenbehandlungsprozesse stehen Laboreinrichtungen bis zu ***Mustermaßstab*** (5 kg) zur Verfügung. ..."
This leads me to believe that they might be referring to various scales/stages here (in the sense of "Größenordnungen"). In manufacturing, it would be obvious that the quantity of sample/prototype items produced is much smaller than the quantity produced at the full-fledged industrial scale.
(In the pharma industry, for example, this step from the sample/pilot stage to full-fledged manufacturing is often referred to as "upscaling".)
