DEFINITION

Classification: 205/777.5

Involving enzyme or micro-organism:

(under subclass 775) Subject matter in which the method involves an enzyme or micro-organism (e.g., animal or plant cells, bacteria, virus, etc.).

(1) Note. Measuring or testing for the activity of an enzyme or micro-organism by change in electrolytic action is an example of the subject matter provided for in this subclass.

701, for electrolytic treatment of biological organic material.

779, for electrolytic analysis or testing of a biological fluid for halogen or a halogen containing compound, but without involving an enzyme or micro-organism.

792, for electrolytic analysis or testing of a biological fluid or tissue, but without involving an enzyme or micro-organism.

testing.

4+, for nonelectrolytic, nonelectrophoretic, and nonelectro-osmotic measuring or testing processes involving enzymes or micro-organisms; a composition or test strip therefor; and processes of forming such a composition or test strip. This includes processes in which a micro-organism is cultured or an enzyme functions catalytically when a nonelectrical property is measured, processes of purification and immobilization of enzymes, and processes using an enzyme to produce a product.

436, Chemistry: Analytical and Immunological Testing, appropriate subclasses for related processes of measuring or testing (1) in which an enzyme reacts noncatalytically or (2) involving an antigen antibody (which is not living) for the nondiagnostic identification of chemical species.
