Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If each research and development company develops reagent products using dedicated testing equipment, then the reagent products can be tested with high precision, but multiple testing equipment are required which increases device complexity and cost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal testing equipment system that can test multiple types of reagent products from different research and development companies. The equipment is designed with multi-functional capabilities to handle various diagnostic tests (molecular diagnostics, immunodiagnostics, etc.) using a single platform, thereby eliminating the need for multiple dedicated equipment while maintaining testing precision through standardized protocols and procedures
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple testing equipment are provided to test reagent products from multiple companies, then all products can be tested, but it becomes difficult to perform tests in primary and secondary hospitals where patients may easily access
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal testing platform that consolidates multiple testing capabilities into a single equipment system. This universal equipment can perform various diagnostic tests including molecular diagnostics, immunodiagnostics, and other reagent-based tests, making it suitable for deployment in primary and secondary hospitals where space and resource constraints exist, while still supporting a wide variety of reagent products
3Adaptability or versatility
If research and development companies competitively develop reagent products independently, then various disease diagnoses can be achieved, but duplicate research and development occurs which increases loss of time and resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a standardized management system as an intermediary between research and development companies and the testing equipment. This system provides common development protocols, standardized procedures, and coordinated testing frameworks that enable multiple companies to develop different reagent products for various diseases without duplicating entire development processes. The standardized system acts as a mediator that harmonizes independent development efforts, reducing redundant work while maintaining the ability to diagnose various diseases
