HTStec's ELISA Assay Trends 2012 report was published on 20 June 2010. This 56
page report summarizes the results of HTStec' s 2nd industry-wide global
web-based benchmarking survey on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA)
carried out in June 2012. The main objectives were to comprehensively document
current practices and preferences in ELISA assays, and to understand future
user requirements. It also examines interest in adopting new or emerging ELISA
platforms with potential to significantly improve performance. The report is
based on 93 responses, from a range of organisation types (ELISA end-users)
from across the globe. Respondents were segmented on the basis of their ELISA
activity with 47% undertaking applied research; 29% routine testing and 24%
basic research.
