Q813
Sensitivity of ELISA lies in the range
A.
1 - 5 ng/l
B.
1 - 10 ng/l
AnswerC.
5 - 50 ng/l
D.
15 - 20 ng/l
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
The sensitivity of ELISA lies in the range of 1 - 10 ng/l.The typical detection range for an ELISA is 0.1 to 1 fmole or 0.01 ng to 0.1 ng, with sensitivity dependent upon the particular characteristics of the antibody-antigen interaction.
ELISAs tend to be the most sensitive immunoassays due to the binding characteristics of the antibodies and the amplification or different read-out systems used.
