The Biological Research Unit for Hot Regions, in collaboration with the Continuing Education Unit at the College of Science at the University of Baghdad, organized a workshop titled “The Use of ELISA Technology in Biological Assays.” The workshop aimed to introduce the concepts of ELISA, also known as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, which is a vital biochemical test relying on the use of antibodies and color change to identify the presence of a specific substance in a sample. The workshop, presented by Dr. Ali Hussein, Assistant Professor Dr. Ali Hafidh Abbas, and Assistant Lecturer Huda Mushtaq, highlighted that ELISA technology is one of the most sensitive immune immunoassays available. They explained that the typical detection range for ELISA is from 0.01 nanograms to 0.1 nanograms, emphasizing that this technology is designed to detect peptides, proteins, antibodies, hormones, and measure them. ELISA is widely used in medical laboratories to confirm the presence of a specific antigen or antibody in a patient’s blood.
