Abstract
Abstract A plurality of spaced blood serum samples are disposed on a serum-bearing film having a leading and trailing edge. The blood serum samples are disposed in an array and each blood serum sample has a leading and a trailing edge. A position-indicating mark is disposed forward of the leading edge of the sample closest to the leading edge of the film by a distance representative of the spacing between adjacent ones of the samples.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
A blood serum-bearing film comprising: a serum-bearing film having a leading and a trailing edge; a plurality of equally spaced blood serum samples disposed on said film in an array, each said blood serum sample having a leading and a trailing edge; and a positive indicating mark disposed forward of the leading edge of the sample closest to said leading edge of said film by a distance representative of the spacing between adjacent ones of said samples.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
A blood serum-bearing film comprising: a serum-bearing film having a leading and a trailing edge; a plurality of equally spaced blood serum samples disposed on said film in an array, each said blood serum sample having a leading and a trailing edge; and a positive indicating mark disposed forward of the leading edge of the sample closest to said leading edge of said film by a distance representative of the spacing between adjacent ones of said samples.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
A blood serum-bearing film as in claim 1, wherein said film is transparent.

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
48 words
A blood serum-bearing film, comprising: a serum-bearing film; a plurality of spaced blood serum samples disposed on said film in an array; a plurality of position-indicating marks, each said position-indicating mark being indicative of the position of a different said blood serum sample and comprising a different numeral.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
48 words
A blood serum-bearing film, comprising: a serum-bearing film; a plurality of spaced blood serum samples disposed on said film in an array; a plurality of position-indicating marks, each said position-indicating mark being indicative of the position of a different said blood serum sample and comprising a different numeral.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
22 words
A blood serum-bearing film as in claim 7, wherein each said position-indicating mark is aligned with the different said blood serum sample.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
19 words
A blood serum-bearing film as in claim 7, wherein each of said blood serum samples are equally spaced apart.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
13 words
A blood serum-bearing film as in claim 7, wherein said film is transparent.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
16 words
A blood serum-bearing film as in claim 10, wherein each of said position-indicating marks is opaque.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
15 words
A blood serum-bearing film as in claim 11, wherein said blood serum samples are translucent.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
14 words
A blood serum-bearing film as in claim 7, wherein said film comprises cellulose acetate.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
26 words
A blood serum-bearing film as in claim 7, wherein each of said blood serum samples are fractionated patterns obtained by the cataphoresis of the serum components.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
65 words

Claim 18
Dependent Claim
126 words
A blood serum-bearing film, comprising: a serum bearing film; a plurality of blood serum samples disposed on said film in an array; each of said blood serum samples having a leading and a trailing edge, the leading edge of each of said blood serum samples being spaced from the leading edge of adjacent blood serum samples by a distance l as measured along a predetermined direction; and a position indicating mark disposed from the leading edge of one of said blood serum samples by said distance l as measured in said predetermined direction whereby, the distance between said position indicating mark and said leading edge of said one of said blood serum samples is representative of the spacing between adjacent ones of said blood serum samples.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
126 words
A blood serum-bearing film, comprising: a serum bearing film; a plurality of blood serum samples disposed on said film in an array; each of said blood serum samples having a leading and a trailing edge, the leading edge of each of said blood serum samples being spaced from the leading edge of adjacent blood serum samples by a distance l as measured along a predetermined direction; and a position indicating mark disposed from the leading edge of one of said blood serum samples by said distance l as measured in said predetermined direction whereby, the distance between said position indicating mark and said leading edge of said one of said blood serum samples is representative of the spacing between adjacent ones of said blood serum samples.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim
46 words
The serum-bearing film of claim 16, wherein said serum bearing film has a leading edge and said position indicating mark is located forward of said leading edge of said blood serum sample closest to said forward edge of said film as measured in said predetermined direction.
Claim 21
Dependent Claim
65 words
A blood serum-bearing film as in claim 16 wherein said film has a lateral edge extending from said leading to said trailing edge and wherein said position indicating mark runs along the entire length of said lateral edge, said leading edge of said film being spaced from the leading edge of said sample closest to said leading edge of said film by said distance l.
