ELISA Assay Solutions & Protocol
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA’s) are plate-based enzyme assays used for identifying and quantifying sample proteins, peptides, antigens, and antibodies that are targets in research of a specific compound. The identification of a specifically targeted protein in an ELISA array is completed by using antibodies to immobilize the protein and detect the presence of the protein targeted.

Immunoassay Tests are biochemical tests that detect disease and works on the principle of antigen-antibody reaction. It aims at measuring the presence and the concentration of an analyte. Researchers and health care professionals utilize immunoassays to detect different kinds of antibodies.

Proteins play the most critical role in immunoassays. They act as the detection antigen or antibody that assay developers use to determine whether a disease state is present. Preserving these proteins is essential in determining accurate results.

ELISA wash buffers were developed as a high performing washing solution to be used in a variety of versatile ELISA formats. Surmodics™ IVD’s BioFX™ Tris Buffered Saline (TBS) Wash Solution‐10X Concentrate contains non‐ionic surfactant, which does not interfere with assay reactants and reduces non‐specific binding.
