[Use of a scanner to register the results of enzyme immunoassay in the standard microplates].

Whether a commercially available scanner might be used as a vertical photometer of 96-well microplates for enzyme immunoassay (EIA) was studied. The analytical characteristics of the scanner in this regard were assessed, by comparing the findings with the respective photometric data obtained by a "VICTOR" EIA analyzer. It is concluded that the scanner registration system in combination with "Expert-Lab EIA" may be used in all types of EIA.
