 The Federal Circuit has “rejected the proposition that claims involving terms of degree are inherently indefinite.”  Sonix Tech. Co. v. Publ’ns Int’l, Ltd., 844 F.3d 1370, 1377 (Fed. Cir. 2017).  We note that the Specification not only exemplifies pH 11 for washing (Spec. ¶ 82), but also discloses elution at pH 10 (Spec. ¶ 19) and elution at “elevated pH” (Spec. ¶ 65).  Thus, the term “about” in context of the pH would provide reasonably certainty limiting the pH to elevated pH values that function in either the washing or the eluting of the aptameric complex.
