Competitive ELISA is a plate‑based assay where an enzyme‑labeled antigen competes with sample antigen for a limited antibody binding site, producing an inverse signal. As target concentration rises, the measured colorimetric signal falls, generating a descending standard curve. The format excels for small molecules, single‑antibody availability, or epitope‑restricted targets, making it indispensable in hormone, toxin, and drug‑level quantification. Proper assay optimization, strict washing, and accurate curve interpolation are critical to avoid misinterpretation.
