Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional capillary electrophoresis methods are used to analyze HbA2, then the analysis can be performed with standard procedures, but the calculated ratio of HbA2 peak area to total peak area shows variability and deviation from control methods, resulting in insufficient precision and accuracy
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the calculation parameters by introducing a correction coefficient based on the relative relationships of detection times. Instead of directly using the raw peak area ratio, the method calculates a correction coefficient from the relative positions of X peak, HbA2 peak, and Y peak detection times, then applies this coefficient to correct the HbA2 peak area ratio, thereby improving both precision and accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The invention implements a feedback mechanism by using the detection time relationships to calculate a correction coefficient that feeds back into the peak area ratio calculation. The correction coefficient is derived from the relative positions of multiple peaks (X peak, HbA2 peak, Y peak) and is used to adjust the HbA2 peak area ratio, creating a self-correcting system that improves measurement reliability
