“a chromatographic body formed as a substantially uniformly distributed multiplicity of rigid, solid, porous particles with chromatographically active surfaces, said particles having average diameters of greater than about 30 pm, the interstitial volume between said particles being not less than about 45% of the total volume of said column; and means for loading said surfaces with at least one solute that is reactive with said surfaces, by flowing a liquid mixture containing said solute through said body at a velocity sufficient to induce flow of said mixture within at least a substantial portion of said interstitial volume at a reduced velocity greater than about 5,000.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“The 2.1 x 20mm, of course, is also a differently-sized column than the accused column. Although it is only slightly larger, it would likely not be a fully-acceptable substitute for those customers would rather elute their compounds over a smaller 1 x 50mm column. Nevertheless, I find it a reasonably acceptable substitute.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“I construe the language “greater than about 30 microns” to exclude 29.01 microns.”
