Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status
The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA .
Response to Amendment
The 112b rejections of claim 7 and 18 have been withdrawn in view of the amendments.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112(b):
(b) CONCLUSION.—The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor regards as the invention.
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), second paragraph:
The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the applicant regards as his invention.
Claim 6 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), second paragraph, as failing to set forth the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor, or for applications subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, the applicant regards as the invention.
Claim 6, line 6, recites the limitation “the fluid from the second fluid inlet”. There is insufficient antecedent basis for the limitation “the fluid” in the claim since claim 6 depends on claim 1, and claim 1 does not previously recite a fluid. For prosecution, the limitation will be interpreted to mean the second fluid inlet is capable of holding a fluid.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102
In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103) is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis (i.e., changing from AIA to pre-AIA ) for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be the same under either status.
The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. 102 that form the basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action:
A person shall be entitled to a patent unless –

Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103) is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis (i.e., changing from AIA to pre-AIA ) for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be the same under either status.
The text of those sections of Title 35, U.S. Code not included in this action can be found in a prior Office action.
Claim 15 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Kramer in view of Hirano (US20110052446A1 published 03/03/2011; hereinafter Hirano).
Regarding claim 15, Kramer teaches the fluid laying device according to claim 14, wherein the portion of the manifold block constituting the cover defines one channel inlet (the housing projection 78 covering the entry port 49 – Figs. 1-3), the fluid inlet and the fluid outlets are not on a same straight line (the entry port 49 and the exit port 48 are not on a same straight line – Figs. 1-2).
However, Kramer does not teach a flow cell carrier comprising three channel outlets.
Hirano teaches flow cell filling method wherein a flow cell carrier comprising three channel outlets (a flowcell slide apparatus 82 comprising a conduit 118, a conduit 120, a conduit 116 – Fig. 8 and paragraph 75). Hirano teaches to use multiple outlets to pressurize a wash solution injector and to assist in removing liquids using a vacuum source (paragraph 72).
It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date to modify the test device, as taught by Kramer, with the multiple outlets, taught by Hirano, to pressurize a wash solution injector and to assist in removing liquids using a vacuum source. One of ordinary skill would have expected that this modification could have been performed with a reasonable expectation of success because Kramer and Hirano teach fluidic systems for flow cells.
Claims 16-17 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Kramer, modified by Hirano, in view of Marie et al (US20130224736A1 published 08/29/2013; hereinafter Marie).
Regarding claim 16, Kramer, modified by Hirano, teaches the fluid laying device according to claim 15.
However, Kramer, modified by Hirano, does not teach wherein the flow cell carrier is square, and the channel inlet and the channel outlets are distributed at four corners of the flow cell carrier.
Marie teaches a microfluidic system wherein the flow cell carrier is square (the reaction chamber 501 – Fig. 5a) (Like the embodiment of FIG. 2, the reaction chamber 501 has a square layout – paragraph 80), and the channel inlet (fluid connection channel 510 – Fig. 5a) and the channel outlets (fluid connection channels 511, 514, 515 – Fig. 5a) are distributed at four corners of the flow cell carrier (fluid connection channels 510, 511, 514, 515 are at the four corners of the reaction chamber 501 – Fig. 5a). Marie teaches to sue a square reaction chamber layout and sample fluid inlet/outlet configuration for an improved distribution of the sample fluid flow throughout the reaction chamber (paragraph 80).
It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date to modify the test device, as taught by Kramer as modified by Hirano, with the shape and arrangement of the inlet/outlet, taught by Marie, for an improved distribution of the sample fluid flow throughout the reaction chamber. One of ordinary skill would have expected that this modification could have been performed with a reasonable expectation of success because Kramer, Hirano, and Marie teach system from processing microfluid devices.
Regarding claim 17, Kramer, as modified by Hirano modified by Marie, teaches the fluid laying device according to claim 16, wherein the at least one groove for rectification of fluid is L-shaped and communicates with the three channel outlets (the section of the channel from valve 94, to the conduit 99, and the bore 69 is L shaped – Kramer Fig. 3) (Kramer, as modified by Hirano modified by Marie, teaches the section is connected to the three outlets of the test device 10 – Kramer Fig. 3 and Marie Fig. 5a).
Response to Arguments
Applicant's arguments filed 05/12/2026 have been fully considered but they are not persuasive.
Point 1: The applicant’s argument that Kramer does not teach “each of the first channel and the second channel located inside the manifold” is not persuasive.
The examiner points out that the channel 92 and the channel 76 are located inside the instrument 65 (Fig. 3) because the instrument 65 comprises a base housing member 66 and a vertically movable upper housing member 67 (column 6 lines 36-38).
Point 2: The applicant’s argument that in Kramer “any of the six O-rings 79, 80, 81, 83, 84, and 85 does not include two holes” is not persuasive.
The examiner points out that as claimed each carrier interface comprises two holes and not the individual O-rings comprises two holes. Furthermore, the carrier interfaces are mapped to pairs of O-rings 79 and 83, and O-rings 80 and 84, wherein each pair of O-rings comprises two holes, and reads on each carrier interface comprising two holes.
Point 3: The applicant's argument that Kramer does not teach "the plurality of carrier interfaces corresponds to the channel inlet and the at least one channel outlet of the flow cell carrier one–to–one” is not persuasive.
The examiner has modified the rejection to address the amended claim language. The carrier interfaces have been remapped to pairs of O-rings 79 and 83 and O-rings 80 and 84, wherein the two pairs of O-rings correspond to the inlet port 49 and outlet for 48 one-to-one.
Conclusion
Applicant's amendment necessitated the new ground(s) of rejection presented in this Office action. Accordingly, THIS ACTION IS MADE FINAL. See MPEP § 706.07(a). Applicant is reminded of the extension of time policy as set forth in 37 CFR 1.136(a).
A shortened statutory period for reply to this final action is set to expire THREE MONTHS from the mailing date of this action.
