Assembly-Type Blot Strip Device Selective Testing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional blot strip devices perform multiple tests simultaneously, leading to unnecessary medical expenses due to tests not desired by the user.
Innovation Solution
An assembly-type blot strip device with a detachable holder and case configuration, allowing users to selectively mount and fix blot strips for desired tests, featuring a holder with assembling protrusions and a case with corresponding grooves, and a fixing mechanism for the blot strip.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple tests are performed simultaneously using a conventional blot strip device, then the device can perform multiple preset tests, but unnecessary medical expenses are incurred due to tests not desired by the user
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into separate functional modules: a reusable case and detachable holder assemblies. Each holder contains a single blot strip for a specific test. Users can select and mount only the holders corresponding to desired tests, performing multiple tests through selective combination rather than simultaneous execution of all preset tests.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder assemblies are designed to be dynamically configurable - they can be detached, removed, and repositioned within the case. This dynamic arrangement allows users to customize which tests are available in the device at any given time, enabling selective test execution based on user needs and reducing unnecessary test costs.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional blot strip device performs multiple preset tests, then various tests can be simultaneously performed, but the device lacks flexibility for selective testing
Solution Approach 1:
The device separates the test functionality into independent holder assemblies that can be individually selected and mounted. Each holder is a self-contained unit with a blot strip, allowing users to configure the device for specific testing needs by selecting appropriate holders, thereby achieving adaptability without excessive complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The case is designed as a universal platform that can accommodate different types of holder assemblies. The standardized interface and mounting mechanism allow various blot strip configurations to be used in the same case, providing multi-functionality and flexibility for selective testing across different test types.

AI summary
An assembly-type blot strip device according to the present invention comprises: a holder which includes a base and side walls facing each other and formed in the height direction on both sides of the base, and in which blot strips are fixed to an upper surface of the base; a case which is open at the top and has holder grooves formed therein, a plurality of holders being mounted adjacent to each other in a line inside the holder grooves; and a passage formed by mounting the plurality of holders inside the holder grooves, wherein the holders and the holder grooves can be assembled such that the holders are detachably mounted to the holder grooves. According to the present invention, it is possible, without conducting multiple predetermined tests as in the case of existing blot strip devices, to selectively perform only the test desired by a user. Accordingly, undesired or unnecessary tests are not performed, and thus test costs can be reduced.
