Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed wherein a gas collision cell is repeatedly switched between a fragmentation and a non-fragmentation mode. Parent ions from a first sample are passed through the collision cell and parent ion mass spectra and fragmentation ion mass spectra are obtained. Parent ions from a second sample are then passed through the collision cell and a second set of parent ion mass spectra and fragmentation ion mass spectra are obtained. The mass spectra are then compared and if either certain parent ions or certain fragmentation ions in the two samples are expressed differently then further analysis is performed to seek to identify the ions which are expressed …

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 25, 2003 and granted December 18, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 25, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 25, 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.
