Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A high throughput crystallization methodology using 1,536 well microassay plate technology is described. The methodology uses mother-daughter plate technology with robotic control to deliver oil, unique crystallization cocktails, and a protein solution to each of the wells. This provides 1,536 unique microbatch crystallization experiments using as little as 6 mg of protein in 600 microliters of solution. The time required to deliver a protein solution to a prepared experiment plate is less than 10 minutes. A plate imaging system with a capacity of 28 microassay plates is also described. The imaging system digitally records the results of the experiments for later comparison to database …

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 23, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 23, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 23, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
