Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If conventional chromogenic reagents (4-AAP with HTIB or TOOS) are used for 1,5-AG quantitative analysis, then the analysis can be performed with established reagents, but the kit cannot be miniaturized and device size remains large

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvekit sizeVSAvoidreagent configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple reagent functions into a single integrated chromogenic reagent formulation. Instead of using separate 4-AAP and HTIB/TOOS reagents as in conventional methods, the invention merges these components into one reagent system that performs both the coupling reaction and chromogenic function, enabling kit miniaturization while maintaining analytical capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The chromogenic reagent in this invention serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as both the coupling agent and the chromogenic substrate for hydrogen peroxide detection. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate reagent configurations and enables the kit to be miniaturized without sacrificing analytical performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
