β¦ Synopsis
An apparatus and method are described for use in enzyme-linked immunofiltratlon assay (ELIFA). The method of filtering ligands, blockers, wash buffers, and substrates decreases a typical 30 min to 2 hr incubation step with ELISA to 5 minutes. The apparatus differs from a dot-blot apparatus in that soluble coloured product is transferred directly into a receiving 96-well microtiter plate for quantifying with an automatic plate reader. Model systems of streptavidin/biotin and antibody/antigen form detectable complexes in the apparatus.

The orientation of an immobilized antigen is important for recognition by, e.g., an antibody. When noncovalent passive adsorption is used for immobilization, the number of ways that the antigen can attach to the surface is numerous and control of how the antigen orientates on the surface is limited.
