Competitive ELISA Tutorial 1: How a Competitive ELISA Works

Here, we discuss the concept behind a Competitive ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay). Competitive ELISAs are commonly used to measure the amount of a specific protein, antibody, or metabolite in a given sample. Though Competitive ELISAs may initially be hard to understand, we hope that this brief video will make some essential concepts as easy to understand as possible.

This video is a part of our ELISA Tutorial Series. Here are all of the videos in this series:
