What Is an ELISA?

ELISA, (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays) are used to quantify specific target levels in various sample types. They typically employ 96-well microplates coated with a capture antibody specific to the target. After incubation, a detection antibody binds to a different epitope on the target, forming a sandwich. A substrate is added and produces a signal proportional to the bound analyte. ELISAs are often preferred due to their sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and resilience to harsh conditions. Careful antibody selection, adherence to stringent manufacturing standards, and thorough testing and validation are essential steps to ensuring your ELISA delivers superior precision, accuracy, and sensitivity.
