{Abstract}: The assessment of ELISA plates coated with phenolic glycolipid-I/PGL-I revealed excellent stability during eight years of storage at room temperature, promoting consistent IgM antibody detection in multibacillary leprosy patients. These stable, standardized plates can significantly contribute to efficient leprosy serology research and support its widespread distribution and use in endemic countries.
