An ELISA uses the precise fit between an antibody and its antigen to detect tiny amounts of a substance in a sample, with a color change reporting the result. It is the basis of pregnancy, HIV and COVID-19 tests. Here you can work through direct, indirect, sandwich and competitive versions of the assay on clinical samples.
