Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Primers designed to be immobilized on microspheres are allowed to anneal to the DNA strand under investigation, and are extended by either DNA polymerase using fluorescent dideoxynucleotides or ligated by DNA ligase to fluorescent reporter oligonucleotides. The fluorescence of either the dideoxynucleotide or the reporter oligonucleotide attached to the immobilized primer is measured by flow cytometry, thereby identifying the nucleotide polymorphism on the DNA strand.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 28, 1998 and granted May 22, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 28, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 28, 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.
