Is ELISA high throughput?

Here we describe a novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the 384-well format, which enables screening for PPARγ ligands that inhibit phosphorylation at Ser273 by Cdk5. The assay is robust with a Z-factor > 0.6, demonstrating its suitability for high-throughput screening.

What do ELISA results mean?

ELISA stands for enzyme-linked immunoassay. It is a commonly used laboratory test to detect antibodies in the blood. An antibody is a protein produced by the body’s immune system when it detects harmful substances, called antigens.

What is ELISA plate pretreated with?

The ELISA plate has been pretreated with SLE antigen, so that the antigen and antibody can recognize each other and form color from the enzyme binding to the antibody, and also to get antigens to bind to the plate.

How many wells does an ELISA plate have?

96
It can be found in any immunology laboratory in the world. Indeed, the 96-well plate is one of the simplest and most ubiquitous pieces of kit in biomedicine. It is a rectangular plastic plate containing 96 little depressions or wells neatly arranged in 8 rows, labelled “A” to “H”, and 12 columns, numbered “1” to “12”.

What are the disadvantages of ELISA?

Table 1

What are three important limitations of an ELISA?

This general test has some important limitations: People may be poor producers of an antibody or may have some interfering substance in their blood. The amount of antibody, consequently, may be too low to measure accurately or may go undetected.

What diseases can ELISA detect?

An ELISA test may be used to diagnose:

• HIV, which causes AIDS.
• Lyme disease.
• pernicious anemia.
• Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
• rotavirus.
• squamous cell carcinoma.
• syphilis.
• toxoplasmosis.

Why must you prepare an ELISA plate?

Why? The ELISA plate has been pretreated with SLE antigen, so that the antigen and antibody can recognize each other and form color from the enzyme binding to the antibody, and also to get antigens to bind to the plate.

What are the 4 steps of an ELISA protocol?

The Direct ELISA Procedure can be summarised into 4 steps: Plate Coating, Plate Blocking, Antibody Incubation, and Detection.

Why do we use a 96-well plate?

Industry standard, 96-well plates are designed for all common instruments and can be used for applications such as sample collection, compound preparation, combinatorial chemistry, high throughput screening, nucleic acid purification, bacterial culture growth, and plate replication.

What is the purpose of a well plate?

Well plates are used in virology, serology, microbiology and a myriad of other life science and drug discovery laboratories. The microplate is a simple, relatively low-tech, cost-effective, humble and unassuming tool found in labs across the world.

What are three important limitations of ELISA?

When did the 384 well plate come out?

High format microplates with low well volumes are one step towards achieving these goals. One of the first higher format microplates was the 384 well plate, launched by Greiner Bio-One in 1994/1995.

Which is the best Elisa microplate to use?

Corning is a leader in manufacturing high-quality, high-performance ELISA microplates and 1 x 8 Stripwell™ microplates for in vitro diagnostic assays. Our ELISA microplates have superior lot-to-lot and intra-well consistency for reproducible and reliable results.

What kind of micro plates are used for 384 well?

The 384 well microplates are available as black and white clear bottom plates (µClear®), in FLUOTRAC™, LUMITRAC™, MICROLON®, CELLSTAR®, UV-Star® or non-binding quality.

Is the 384 well microplate free of endotoxins?

The 384 well microplates are available as black and white clear bottom plates (µClear®), in FLUOTRAC™, LUMITRAC™, MICROLON®, CELLSTAR®, UV-Star® or non-binding quality. • Are free of detectable endotoxins (0.03 EU/ml) and regularly tested using an FDA-approved kinetic turbidimetric LAL-test (Limulus Amoebocyte Assay)
