Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The present invention relates to a method of drying biological and other labile samples so that they can be preserved as a highly viscous liquid. The method involves the steps of preparing a preservation sample by dissolving/suspending an active agent in a solution of a stabilising agent subjecting the preservation sample to such temperature and pressure conditions that the preservation sample looses solvent by evaporation without freezing or bubbling to form a foam and removing solvent until the preservation sample dries to form a highly viscous liquid.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 30, 2003 and granted August 16, 2016. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 30, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 30, 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.
