Automation of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

A prototype of automatized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in tubes is described, using a commercially available basic material, easily modified. Nine hundred samples could be completely studied in a day by only one person. The different steps of the automatized ELISA were systematically studied to obtain the best performance. Its application is described in toxoplasmosis serodiagnosis.
