September 2021 – Immunetics Immuno Diagnostic Elisa Assay Kits

The Immuno Explorer ELISA Kit uses a technique called enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect the presence of an antibody or antigen in a sample. The protocol uses two antibodies, one of which is antigen-specific and the other that is coupled to an enzyme. This second antibody gives the assay its enzyme-linked name and causes a chromogenic substrate to produce color wherever it is bound. ELISA is a powerful antibody-based biosensing tool used in the field to search for pathogens in water, food, or air, whether they arise naturally or through acts of aggression.
