Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The characteristics of a biological fluid sample having an analyte are determined from a model constructed from plural known biological fluid samples. The model is a function of the concentration of materials in the known fluid samples as a function of absorption of wideband infrared energy. The wideband infrared energy is coupled to the analyte containing sample so there is differential absorption of the infrared energy as a function of the wavelength of the wideband infrared energy incident on the analyte containing sample. The differential absorption causes intensity variations of the infrared energy incident on the analyte containing sample as a function of sample wavelength of the …

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 21, 1990 and granted September 13, 1994. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 21, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 21, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
