Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method and apparatus for representing double stranded nucleic acid fragments which have been separated by a chromatographic process as an array of bands which can be accurately quantified, optimized and stored. Using for example, a Matched Ion Polynucleotide Chromatography (MIPC) process an analog output , from a UV detector is digitized and input to a computer. The digitized signal is converted to a linear array of bands which may be displayed on a video display terminal. The intensity and/or color of a band may correlate to the amount of double stranded nucleic acid in the respective fraction or the respective double stranded nucleic acid fragment above a user selected threshold …

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 13, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended March 13, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 13, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
