# ELISA

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a plate-based technique for detecting and quantifying substances such as peptides, proteins and antibodies using antibodies and an enzyme-generated colour, fluorescence or luminescence signal. Competitive ELISA formats are often used to measure small peptides in research samples.
