ELISA is an immunological plate-based assay technique that offers several advantages including high sensitivity and specificity due to the use of antibodies to detect antigens at the picogram level. ELISA also allows for high throughput using 96-well plate formats that can be adapted to 384-well plates. Additionally, ELISA protocols are easy to perform requiring little hands-on time and the assays are quantitative, cost-effective, and can test various sample types without the need for radioactive substances or large amounts of organic solvents.

(antigens) at the picogram level in a very
specific manner due to the use of Ab
(antibodies).
