Notes

(1)

Attention is drawn to Notes (1) to (3) following the title of class C 12. [4]

(2)

In this subclass, it is desirable to add the indexing codes of subclass C 12 R. The indexing codes should be linked. [6]

/ 00 Apparatus for enzymology or microbiology [3]

Note

 

This group covers:

 

-

apparatus where micro-organisms or enzymes are produced or isolated;
 

-

apparatus where the characteristics of micro-organisms or enzymes are investigated, e.g. which growth factors are necessary;
 

-

apparatus specially adapted to employ micro-organisms or enzymes as "reactants" or biocatalysts;
 

-

apparatus of both the laboratory and industrial scale. [3]
