Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The present invention relates to a device for generating an oscillating electrical current, where the device incorporates an ion channel. In particular, the ion channel is incorporated into an integrated electronic device having nanoscale dimensions. Thus this device can transform biological , processes into an electrical output. The present invention also describes a sensor for detecting biological or chemical analytes with the ion channel device. Methods for generating the oscillating currents and detecting the analytes are also disclosed.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 22, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended October 22, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 22, 2021.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
