Analyzer Automatic Peak Range Detection for Electrophoresis Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In electrophoresis data analysis, users face inefficiencies due to manual designation of peak detection ranges, requiring repeated analysis and increased workload when comparing unknown samples to known samples, especially when multiple peaks are present in the separation data.
Innovation Solution
An analyzer automatically sets a detection range within a predetermined threshold from a known sample's peak and displays the corresponding peak in unknown samples, improving user efficiency by reducing manual intervention and streamlining the analysis process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual peak designation is used, then users can analyze specific peaks, but work efficiency decreases due to repeated range settings and manual intervention
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting peaks and pre-setting analysis ranges based on known samples before the user needs to analyze unknown samples. This eliminates the need for users to manually designate peaks and adjust ranges repeatedly, thereby improving work efficiency while maintaining ease of operation.
2Productivity
If automatic peak detection is implemented, then work efficiency improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The analyzer performs self-service by automatically detecting peaks and setting analysis ranges without requiring complex user intervention. The system uses its own resources and capabilities to perform these functions autonomously, improving productivity while avoiding the need for additional complex external devices or procedures.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple peaks are present in separation data, then more components are detected, but analysis time increases due to repeated analysis requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary peak detection and range setting for all peaks in the separation data, including multiple components. By preparing the analysis ranges in advance based on known samples, the system enables simultaneous or sequential analysis of multiple peaks without requiring repeated manual intervention, thereby reducing total analysis time while maintaining comprehensive component detection.

AI summary
A display method for displaying a plurality of pieces of data respectively obtained by electrophoretic separation for a plurality of samples. The first data includes a first peak corresponding to a separated component of the known sample. The second data includes a second peak corresponding to a separated component of the unknown sample. The display method includes: acquiring the plurality of pieces of data; detecting the first peak and the second peak respectively from the first data and the second data; setting a range included within a predetermined threshold from the first peak as a specified range; determining, for the second data, whether or not the second peak is included in the specified range; and displaying specifically the second peak, when the second peak is in the specified range.
