Welcome to the openELISPOT build-guide!
This site will guide you step-by-step through the openELISPOT build.
We highly recommend you follow these instructions in order, and that you familiarise yourself with the guide in its entirety before starting.
While we have been able to print, assemble and set up openELISPOT within a day, if it’s your first time taking on a project like this, we recommend setting aside a few days for total assembly time. Feel free to proceed at a comfortable pace for you, and reach out to our community Discord server if you need help along the way.
