ELISA Reagents and Consumables

ELISAs are composed of the same basic elements:

1) Coating/capture of antigens to the surface of microplate wells.

2) Plate blocking – to bind and cover all of the unsaturated surface-binding sites of the microplate wells not occupied by the capture antibody/protein.

3) Detection – incubation with an antigen-specific antibody that will bind specifically to the antigen.

4) Measurement of the signal – the signal generated by the reporter enzyme conjugated to the detection antibody is measured on a microtiter plate reader. The most commonly used enzyme labels are horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and alkaline phosphatase (AP). The choice of substrate to be used depends upon the sensitivity required to detect the antigen of interest as well as the instrumentation available, i.e. spectrophotometer, fluorometer, etc.
