Explanation: The main advantages of Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) or EnLinked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) are that it is a simple test that does not cause side effects, has high sensitivity and specificity, offers more accuracy compared to other techniques such as radioimmunoassay (RIA) tests, and is usually in a 96 well microplate format.
