To produce a novel ELISA method, in which there's minimal automation and cost, which functions on par with current methods.

Project Overview

The current issue with the ELISA method is that executing it manually is very time-consuming, and thus it requires automation that can run ELISA method. While there are current automated systems capable of this, they are all expensive from at least $10,000 to $100,000. Additionally, instead of using microplates to carry the antigen/antibody interactions, the current automation will use a set of rods with a cap that will experience the enzyme activity. The automation will then place the rods to incubate in multiple solutions including antigens, antibodies, blocking buffer, enzymes, and will wash the rods in between each step. The caps carrying the enzyme activity will be read by a scanner that is this team's priority.
