They basically differ in their action profile.
In this link you can see those that are today:

Aspart insulin is what we know by ultra -grape (Novorapid, Humalog, Apidra)
Bifasic Aspart will refer to Novomix 30, it is an insulin that acts in 2 phases: a first ultra -granted action (30) and a second phase of slow action (70)
The rest of the mixed insulin follow the same pattern, with different actions (10: 90.50: 50)
Levemir is a slow action insulin (from 14-16 hours ...)
