Appeal No. 1996-3504
Application No. 08/265,648
25 through 27 subsequent to this appeal. See Answer, pages 1 1
and 3.
Claims 1 and 5 are representative of the subject matter
on appeal and read as follows:
1. An apparatus comprising, in combination:
light-transparent conduit means for allowing fluid flow
of a fluid sample therethrough;
and
a porous mass of light-transparent material disposed in
said conduit means, the porosity of said mass being selected
to permit fluid flow of said fluid flow of said fluid sample
therethrough, said mass having immobilized thereon at least a
moiety of a ligand/conjugate complex, said mass being arranged
and constructed such that said at least a moiety is localized
within only a portion of said conduit means; and
measuring means positioned relative to said portion of
said conduit means so that said measuring means quantitatively
measures an amount of radiation emanating from within said
portion of said conduit means.
5. An apparatus comprising, in combination:
focusing optical lens means; and

23 and 25-27 at page 1 of the Answer.
