- Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay;
- Immunoassay utilising antibodies linked to enzymes for detection by colour change;
- Evolved from RIA in the 1960s;
- Antibody or analytebeing detected is absorbed to a solid surface, meaning unbound materials can be washed away with ease;
- With time, more techniques were developed and ELISA is now used to describe any assay where a molecule is absorbed on a solid phase.
