Single-molecule digital ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) has realized millionfold improvement of the detection limit of a biomarker for prostate cancer. In the near future, this method will lead to a highly-sensitive portable device for the earliest diagnosis of many diseases and infections.
