CiteAb's Life Science Kits & Assays database includes hundreds of thousands of citations for kits used in the scientific literature. The database began with ELISA kits, fundamental tools in biomedical research.

To recognise excellence in this burgeoning space, we reintroduced the ELISA Kit Supplier to Watch Award for 2026. This category celebrates suppliers demonstrating exceptional growth for ELISA Kit citations in publications - thereby supporting researchers using these tools.

We used the following methodology to determine the award winner:

• Limiting analysis to ELISA kit products within our Kits & Assays database
• Calculating the supplier with the largest percentage increase in citations in the previous year
• Excluding suppliers with fewer than ten citations

Our congratulations to ELK Biotechnology, winners of the ELISA Kit Supplier to Watch Award!

ELK Biotechnology focus lies in the development and production of immune and molecular biology products, with ELISA Kits forming a key part of their portfolio.

Rhys Bowen-Morris, Kits & Assays data lead at CiteAb, commented:

"ELISA kits continue to underpin a huge volume of biomedical research. This award highlights the supplier whose growing citation footprint reflects strong researcher trust and real-world impact with their ELISA kit products."
