Solution Overview

Problem

8-amino-5-chloro-7-phenylpyrido[3,4-d]pyridazine-1,4(2H,3H)-dione (L-012) or its salt experiences a decrease in measurement sensitivity when exposed to natural or artificial light, leading to errors in measurement values.

Innovation Solution

A stabilizer with a specific structure, including an azo group or imino group and a benzenesulfonic acid group, is coexistent with L-012 or its salt to suppress the reduction in luminescence intensity caused by light exposure, maintaining the original luminescence dose.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If L-012 or its salt is used as a chemiluminescent material, then measurement sensitivity is improved (10 times or more higher than luminol), but measurement sensitivity decreases upon exposure to natural light or artificial light

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement sensitivityVSAvoidmeasurement sensitivity stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A stabilizer compound (formula 1) is introduced as an intermediary substance that mediates between L-012 and light exposure. The stabilizer absorbs or blocks the harmful effects of light on L-012 without interfering with the chemiluminescence reaction, thereby protecting the luminescent substrate while allowing high-sensitivity measurements to proceed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The stabilizer converts the harmful effect of light exposure (which causes decomposition of L-012) into a beneficial protective effect. By being present in the luminescent substrate solution, the stabilizer transforms what would be a detrimental light-L-012 interaction into a protected state where L-012 remains stable even during light exposure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

2Power

If L-012 or its salt is used to replace luminol, then luminescence intensity is improved (10 times or more higher), but decomposition occurs upon light exposure causing measurement errors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminescence intensityVSAvoidlight-induced decomposition
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The chemical composition parameter of the luminescent substrate solution is changed by adding the stabilizer compound (formula 1). This parameter change modifies the solution's properties to resist light-induced decomposition while preserving the high luminescence intensity characteristic of L-012

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The luminescent substrate solution is transformed into a composite system containing L-012, the stabilizer compound (formula 1), and other solution components. This composite material combines the high luminescence properties of L-012 with the protective properties of the stabilizer, achieving both high intensity and light stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
