ELISA applications.

1. Application
ELISA's versatility and reliability
make it an invaluable tool in
various fields, playing a crucial role
in healthcare, research, food
safety, and environmental
monitoring.

2. ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is
a versatile laboratory
technique used to detect and quantify specific substances in a sample
. It's renowned for
its sensitivity
specificity, and relative ease of use
. Here's a breakdown of its applications
