From Quantalink I can view the results of a patient as long as they have been processed by the same technology, that is, I can only view the IFA results or only view the Elisa results.
A
TRUE
B
FALSE
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ELISA tests are usually the first step of the diagnosis process. If an ELISA test comes back positive, your doctor may ask you to take further tests to confirm the diagnosis. If it comes back negative, they may have you repeat the test in a few weeks in case of a false negative result.

Detailed explanation-2: -The immunofluorescent technique (IF), once considered the gold standard, is more and more displaced by ELISA. ELISA can be fully automated and the interpretation does not require the extensive experience needed in IF.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is a technique used to detect antibodies or infectious agents in a sample. Antibodies are made in response to infection and so antibody ELISA testing can indicate whether or not an animal has been in contact with a certain virus.
