NEW YORK (360Dx) – Researchers at the University of South Florida (USF) are developing a mobile point-of-care version of a laboratory-based enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that potentially could broaden the type of testing that can be done in a doctor's office.

The testing platform could eventually open access in doctors' offices to a range of testing that can only be done currently by sending samples to labs and awaiting their return, Anna Pyayt, one of the test's developers and an assistant professor at the University of South Florida, said in an interview.
