ANALYSIS APPARATUS AND ANALYSIS METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18499454 titled 'ANALYSIS APPARATUS AND ANALYSIS METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an analysis apparatus for efficiently analyzing a measurement object with a certain functional group. The apparatus includes an addition unit for adding the specimen and multiple flow paths downstream of the addition unit, each connected to detection units containing detection reagents that react with the functional group.

  • The analysis apparatus efficiently analyzes measurement objects with specific functional groups.
  • The addition unit allows for easy addition of the specimen for analysis.
  • The multiple flow paths and detection units enable simultaneous analysis of different types of measurement objects with the same functional group.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various fields such as medical diagnostics, pharmaceutical research, environmental testing, and food safety analysis.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient analysis of measurement objects with specific functional groups. 2. Simultaneous analysis of multiple types of measurement objects in a single apparatus.

Benefits

1. Increased efficiency in analyzing specimens. 2. Enhanced accuracy in detecting measurement objects with specific functional groups. 3. Streamlined workflow for analyzing different types of measurement objects.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Efficient Analysis Apparatus for Measurement Objects with Functional Groups" could find applications in laboratories, research institutions, and quality control facilities.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of similar analysis apparatus with single detection units for specific functional groups, but not capable of analyzing multiple types simultaneously.

Unanswered Questions
