Teach sandwich ELISA
Use the plate-bound capture antibody and antigen layer to introduce sandwich binding. Follow the detection side of the diagram during the explanation, keeping each antibody’s role separate from the analyte.

An ELISA diagram shows how antigen and antibody binding steps connect to enzyme-linked detection in an assay. Build sandwich and indirect ELISA schematics. Label capture, antigen and detection roles, choose a focused assay view and export SVG or PNG.

Use SciFig to work with the specific inputs, labels and exported outputs described below.
Show the capture antibody on the plate, the bound antigen and the detection side of a sandwich ELISA. SciFig’s ELISA diagram generator keeps those roles distinct so a teaching panel explains which component binds the analyte and how the detection layer relates to it.
Use the indirect view to show an immobilized antigen, a primary antibody and the enzyme-linked secondary detection step. Switching the assay changes the binding arrangement rather than simply changing the figure title. Keep the assay name and component labels with the exported schematic.
Replace the title and scientific labels with the terms used in your teaching material. Distinguish the antigen, antibodies and enzyme-related signal with colors while retaining text labels. The illustration communicates assay architecture; the labels connect the arrangement with the methods explanation beside it.
Download the selected ELISA schematic as SVG or PNG and save its JSON settings. A saved configuration can be reopened when a methods slide needs new terminology or a different supported assay view. The diagram is generated locally from its finite assay settings.
Follow the local controls to prepare the elisa diagram from your input.
Choose sandwich or indirect ELISA according to the binding sequence you want to explain. The preset places the relevant capture or immobilized-antigen layer on the plate, so the first binding step matches the selected assay.
Read the antigen and antibody labels in the preview. In sandwich ELISA, distinguish capture from detection. In indirect ELISA, distinguish primary from secondary antibody. Edit the labels to match the terminology used in the accompanying lesson.
Choose the available focused view and adjust the figure colors or title. Keep the detection role connected to the correct bound component. A readable schematic should let the audience follow the sequence without relying on color alone.
Export SVG for a scalable methods panel or PNG for a handout. Save JSON settings to preserve the selected assay and labels. Reopen the settings to revise the same ELISA diagram rather than rebuilding the arrangement.
Choose a focused figure for the question and document you are preparing.

Use the plate-bound capture antibody and antigen layer to introduce sandwich binding. Follow the detection side of the diagram during the explanation, keeping each antibody’s role separate from the analyte.

Explain how an antibody binds an immobilized antigen and is detected by a secondary layer. The indirect schematic gives students a visual sequence distinct from the sandwich format rather than suggesting the two arrangements are interchangeable.
Explore this example
Place an assay schematic before a results figure to establish the binding architecture. Labels identify the components used in the explanation. The schematic supplies assay context while measured signals remain in their separate data figure.

Export sandwich and indirect views for a side-by-side lesson. Consistent colors and label style make the change in binding order easier to follow. Keep each assay name on its panel so the comparison stays explicit.

Use the diagram to connect antigen, primary antibody and detection terminology. A clear SVG can be resized for a worksheet without blurring the component labels. The saved settings retain the same vocabulary for later revisions.
Explore this example
Pair the ELISA schematic with an antibody structure diagram. One panel explains chains and binding regions, while the ELISA panel explains how antibodies are arranged in an assay. This keeps structure and experimental architecture distinct.
Explore this exampleMy practical introduction needed an ELISA diagram that separated capture antibodies from the detection chain. I selected the sandwich preset, renamed the antigen and adjusted the colors. The SVG gave the class a labelled binding schematic, and I kept the JSON with the lesson materials so the same example could be revised later.
