What Does CELIA Stand For?

CELIA stands for Competitive Enzyme Linked Immunoassay

CELIA, or Competitive Enzyme Linked Immunoassay, is a sensitive analytical technique used for detecting and quantifying specific antigens or antibodies in various samples. This method employs an enzyme-linked detection system, where the presence of the target molecule competes with a labeled analogue for binding to a limited number of specific antibodies. The resulting signal intensity is inversely proportional to the target concentration, allowing for accurate measurements in clinical diagnostics, research, and quality control applications. CELIA is valued for its specificity, versatility, and ability to handle complex sample matrices.
