Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC) products for point-of-care diagnostics have gained significant attention. However, there is a lack of systematic approaches for LOC product development. To address this, we introduce an Attribute Dependency Graph exemplary for a magnetophoretic LOC system for pathogen detection. This model organizes dependencies between the design variables and crucial quantities of interest, such as detectability, cost per test, and test duration. The obtained model helps to manage design complexity and can be adapted to other LOC approaches.
