ELISA / Immunoassays

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), a widely used immunoassay technique, plays a pivotal role in detecting and quantifying specific proteins, antibodies, hormones, and other molecules in biological samples. Its principle relies on the specific binding between an antigen and an antibody labeled with an enzyme, facilitating sensitive and precise measurements. ELISA finds extensive applications in medical diagnostics, research, and pharmaceutical development, offering rapid, cost-effective, and reliable analysis of target substances. Its versatility and adaptability make it indispensable in various fields, aiding in the understanding of immune responses, disease diagnosis, and therapeutic advancements.
