Continuing my translation of a text about ELISA tests.
"remplissage des plaques aux étapes de coating, saturation, détection et révélation."
I had translated the first instance, above, as "reading". However, now I have come across this:
"La température et la durée de la révélation"
It seems to me that a reading can't have a temperature or duration, so my translation in the first instance must have been wrong.

color development
ELISA is based on a chemiluminescent reaction catalyzed by the linked enzyme which processes the substrate to produce a detectable signal in the form of color development (usually yellow). This coloration is what's being detected, but since it's an enzymatic reaction, it is time- and temperature-dependent. So if the reaction is run at a lower temperature, color development will take longer, but if the reaction is allowed to run for too long, it will saturate the signal and affect quantification.

Comment: "That's what I've used."
Discussion
"Substrate is catalysed by enzyme to generate coloured readout"
So I think it's a process that enables a final reading, and that process would have a temperature and duration
