Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)

Additional Insights

• 

  Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a laboratory test used to detect and measure specific proteins, such as antibodies or hormones, in a sample. It involves coating a plate with the target protein, adding the sample, and then introducing an enzyme-linked antibody that binds to the target. After washing away unbound substances, a substrate is added, causing a color change if the target is present. The intensity of the color is measured, indicating the amount of target protein. ELISA is commonly used in medical diagnostics, research, and quality control in various industries.

  Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a laboratory technique used to detect and measure proteins, antibodies, or hormones in a sample, such as blood. It works by attaching a specific antibody to a solid surface, adding the sample, and allowing any target proteins to bind to the antibody. A secondary enzyme-linked antibody is then added, which binds to the target. Finally, a substrate is added that the enzyme reacts with to produce a measurable signal, often a color change. This allows scientists to quantify the presence of the target substance in the sample.

  Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is a laboratory technique used to measure the presence of specific proteins, such as antibodies or antigens, in a sample (like blood). It involves attaching the protein to a surface, adding a sample, and using an enzyme-linked detection method. If the target protein is present, it binds to the surface and triggers a color change when a substrate is added, indicating a positive result. This method is widely used for diagnosing diseases, detecting infections, and in research, due to its sensitivity and ability to analyze multiple samples simultaneously.
