ELISA Kit Selection Guide
Choose the right ELISA kit for your experiment. Our selection guide helps you compare sensitivity, dynamic range, sample types, and assay time to find the perfect kit for quantitative protein detection.
ELISA Kits by Research Area
Find ELISA kits organized by your field of study
Immunology
Cytokine ELISAs (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, IFN-γ, IL-10, IL-17), immunoglobulin quantitation, complement components, and immune cell markers.
Endocrinology
Hormone ELISAs — cortisol, corticosterone, testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, melatonin, insulin, and thyroid hormones.
Oxidative Stress
DNA damage (8-OHdG), lipid peroxidation (8-isoprostane, MDA), protein carbonyl, and antioxidant capacity (SOD, GPx, catalase) ELISAs.
Cardiovascular
Cardiac biomarker ELISAs — NT-proBNP, troponin, CRP, homocysteine, adiponectin, and vascular endothelial markers.
Neuroscience
Neurotransmitter and neurodegeneration ELISAs — serotonin, dopamine, BDNF, NGF, amyloid-β, tau, and α-synuclein.
Cancer Research
Tumor marker ELISAs — VEGF, HIF-1α, HMGB1, survivin, p53, and apoptosis markers (cleaved caspase-3, cytochrome c).
How to Choose the Right ELISA Kit
ELISA Kit Formats
Enzo Life Sciences offers multiple ELISA formats to match your experimental requirements:
- Sandwich ELISA — capture and detection antibody pair for highest specificity; ideal for complex sample matrices
- Competitive ELISA — sample competes with labeled antigen; best for small molecules, hormones, and haptens
- Direct ELISA — antigen coated directly on plate; simplest format for screening applications
- Cell-Based ELISA — quantify intracellular targets in adherent cells without cell lysis
Technical Specifications Comparison
Each ELISA kit datasheet includes: assay sensitivity (minimum detectable concentration), standard curve range, intra-assay CV%, inter-assay CV%, sample volume required, total assay time, and species cross-reactivity data. Compare these specifications across kits to find the best match for your experimental design.
