Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A lateral flow chromatographic assay format for the performance of rapid enzyme-driven assays is described. A combination of components necessary to elicit a specific enzyme reaction, which are either absent from the intended sample or insufficiently present therein to permit completion of the desired reaction, are predeposited as substrate in dry form together with ingredients necessary to produce a desired color upon occurrence of the desired reaction. The strip is equipped with a sample pad placed ahead of the substrate deposit in the flow stream, to which liquid sample is applied.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 24, 2004 and granted January 15, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 24, 2024.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 24, 2026.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
