ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

Due to the worldwide spread of the respiratory disease COVID-19, scientists developed diagnostic tests in order to identify and monitor the disease. In this simulated medical test, students will perform the ELISA to detect the presence of COVID-19 antibodies in simulated patient samples.

• Hands-on simulation of molecular testing for COVID-19
• Learn about the characteristics of coronaviruses
• Understand antibodies and immunoassays
• Perform an ELISA to detect the presence of COVID-19 antibodies in simulated patient samples

**Please note, this experiment is a simulation and intended solely for educational purposes. There is no virus or human blood products included with this experiment. The experiment will not detect SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in human blood samples.**
