Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A multi-channel bio-separation detection method and apparatus in which a single detector is coupled to a plurality of radiation sources in a one , detector/many radiation sources configuration. Each radiation source directs radiation at one detection zone of a single separation channel and a single , detector is applied to detect light emissions from the detection zones of several separation channels. The light sources direct radiation at the detection zones in a predetermined sequence and further in a cyclic manner with the detector output synchronized to the light sources by a controller. Bio-separation may be conducted simultaneously in all the channels in parallel, with detection …

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 28, 2002 and granted April 1, 2014. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 28, 2022.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
