Custom ELISA Development Services
Attogene specializes in custom ELISA development for clients who need validated immunoassays that perform reliably in their specific matrix, sensitivity range, and regulatory environment. Whether you require a sandwich ELISA, competitive ELISA, or multiplex panel, our scientists engineer each assay from the ground up — selecting antibody pairs, optimizing blocking conditions, and validating performance to ensure you get data you can trust.
Our custom ELISA development services support a wide range of applications, including pharmaceutical drug development, food and environmental safety testing, aquaculture health monitoring, and academic research. Browse our ELISA product catalog to see validated assays already available off the shelf, or explore our full Attogene product list spanning lateral flow, qPCR, enzyme, and nucleic acid platforms.

ELISA Formats We Develop
We engineer the right format for your target, matrix, and throughput requirements. Attogene has hands-on experience developing all major ELISA configurations, and can recommend the optimal format based on your analyte’s molecular weight, available antibodies, and detection sensitivity goals.
- Sandwich ELISA — High sensitivity detection of large proteins and biomarkers
- Competitive ELISA — Ideal for small molecules, haptens, and low-MW analytes
- Direct & Indirect ELISA — Rapid development for antibody detection and screening
- Multiplex ELISA — Simultaneous quantification of multiple analytes per well
- Cell-based ELISA — Detection of cell-surface or intracellular antigens
- Capture Antibody Screening — Systematic pairing of antibody candidates for optimal signal
- Matrix-Specific Optimization — Serum, plasma, urine, water, tissue lysate, and more
- Kit Transfer & Reformatting — Adapt existing assays to new formats or reagent sets
Our Custom ELISA Development Process
Every custom ELISA development engagement begins with a discovery call to define your target analyte, sample matrix, intended use, and regulatory requirements. From there, Attogene’s scientists take ownership of the full development pipeline:

- Antigen & Antibody Sourcing: We identify and procure recombinant antigens and candidate antibody pairs, or work with your proprietary reagents.
- Antibody Pair Screening: Systematic checkerboard titrations identify capture/detection pairs that deliver the highest signal-to-noise ratio.
- Assay Optimization: Buffer formulations, blocking agents, incubation conditions, and plate coatings are systematically optimized for your matrix. We also offer pre-coated plates including our Streptavidin Coated ELISA Plates (EL2055), Goat Anti Rabbit Coated Plates (EL2058), and Mouse Anti FAM/FITC Coated Plates (EL2059) to accelerate your development.
- Validation: Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, precision (intra- and inter-assay CV), linearity, and spike-recovery are characterized per your regulatory guidance (FDA, EPA, ICH Q2).
- Kit Formulation & Transfer: Validated reagents are formatted into a ready-to-use kit with a full SOP. Need a self-build starting point? See our ELISA Do-it-Yourself Development Starter Kit (EL2061).
