Description

ELISA is a protein detection test that uses antibodies and a color change to identify a target in a sample. ELISA stands for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. It is called an immunoassay because antibodies do the detecting.

The test is carried out in a microtiter plate with small wells. In many ...

Transcript

The ELISA, or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, is a widely used method for determining the presence or absence of a specific target protein.

Via a series of washing and binding steps, an antibody conjugated, or linked, to an enzyme will recognize a target protein at the bottom of a 96-well plate. When substrate is ad...
