Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Identification and quantification of paraproteins in a sample is achieved by Fourier analysis of mobility-based electropherograms obtained from capillary electrophoresis. The use of a computer algorithm to analyze capillary electrophoresis data, provides the clinician with methods of detecting levels of paraproteins in serum as low as 0.05 g/dL. Additionally an individual , paraprotein can be located on an electropherogram and used to monitor its increased or decreased production in an individual.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 21, 1998 and granted November 25, 2003. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 21, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 21, 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.
