          Appeal No. 2005-0510                                                        
          Application No. 09/883,435                                                  

          reaction area that is recessed from the reservoir into the lid or           
          cover slip.                                                                 
               For the foregoing reasons, we determine that the examiner has          
          not established a prima facie case of obviousness in view of the            
          reference evidence for claims 27 and 36, and claims 28, 29 and 38           
          which depend therefrom.  Accordingly, the examiner’s rejection of           
          claims 27-29, 36 and 38 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) over Kim is                
          reversed.
