Abstract :
This work presents an approach for efficient interpretation of enzyme linked immuno specific assay (ELISA) diagnostic plates. ELISA tests are among the most powerful diagnostic tools for infectious diseases and media are readily available, but their interpretation requires expensive equipment. This implementation was developed around open-source libraries and designed to be as versatile as possible
