Additional Product Information
ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is one of the most widely used biochemical methods in laboratory analysis and diagnostics. Analytes such as peptides, proteins, antibodies and hormones can be detected selectively and quantified in low concentrations among a multitude of other substances. Additionally, ELISAs are rapid, sensitive, cost effective and can be performed in a high-throughput manner. An ELISA is used in a vast variety of different types of assays (direct ELISA, indirect ELISA, sandwich ELISA, competitive ELISA). All ELISA variants are based on the same principle, the binding of one assay component – antigen or specific antibody – to a solid surface and the selective interaction between both assay components.
Greiner Bio-One manufactures a large variety of Immunology and ELISA Plates. Made of clear, black, or white polystyrene, the 96 well Immunology plates / 96 well ELISA plates are used for diagnostic and immunological research applications, maintain a high quality standard for consistency and reproducibility, and are available in two surface selections:
High-Binding 96 Well Plates - The polystyrene surface has been specifically treated to provide a hydrophilic surface for increased protein binding.
Medium-Binding 96 Well Plates - The polystyrene surface is less hydrophilic than the surface of a high-binding microplate, and therefore tends to be more suitable for non polar proteins and peptides.
Since attachment to a solid surface based upon passive adsorption depends on properties of the molecule to be bound, it is advisable to compare performance of both high and medium binding products when developing a new assay.
