Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Methods, compositions and articles of manufacture for assaying a sample for a target polynucleotide are provided. A sample suspected of containing the target polynucleotide is contacted with a polycationic multichromophore and a sensor PNA complementary to the target polynucleotide. The sensor PNA comprises a signaling chromophore to absorb energy from the excited multichromophore and emit light in the presence of the target polynucleotide. The methods can be used in multiplex form. Kits comprising reagents for performing such methods are also provided.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 20, 2003 and granted August 16, 2016. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 20, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 20, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
