Glow ELISA: sensitive immunoassay with minimal equipment and stable reagents

Glow enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (glow ELISA) uses inexpensive and shelf-stable glow stick reagents to chemically excite fluorescent reporters, obviating the need for excitation light sources, filters, and complex optics. It achieves excellent limits of detection while offering portability and equipment cost comparable to lateral flow immunoassays. Glow enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (glow ELISA) uses inexpensive and shelf-stable glow stick reagents to chemically excite fluorescent reporters, obviating the need for excitation light sources, filters, and complex optics.
