ELISA (Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) kits are used by researchers, scientists and physicians in determining what is going on in the body. These tests are effective in identifying steroid use, allergies, diabetes, cancer and more. Extremely accurate, the ELISA kit was first used for various testing of plants, but its use has spread enormously in the medical community.
Now to get a bit more scientific . . .
Today, ELISA kits work with various methods of detecting diseases which include the use of plasmas and serums; this helps to identify antibodies or antigens that could indicate specific diseases. Basically, antigens or antibodies are attached to surfaces for further study and so that they can be identified. For instance, HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is a substance that an antibody may "latch" on to when a woman is pregnant.
Decades ago, it was difficult if not impossible to know if an individual was susceptible to HIV, diabetes or other diseases/conditions. Today, ELISA kits offer extreme accuracy so that false negatives/positives can be avoided.
From hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism to diseases and bacterial illnesses caused by tick bites (Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever), ELISA kits are relied on by physicians around the world to diagnose and monitor the status of specific conditions and diseases, meaning efficient diagnosis and more effective treatment for patients.
