What Is Olink Proteomics?

Olink Services Source Genomics

Olink Proteomics is an antibody-based protein analysis platform that leverages Proximity Extension Assay (PEA) technology to measure relative and absolute protein abundance in liquid biopsies such as plasma and serum.

Each protein binding event is converted into a unique DNA barcode, enabling highly specific detection while minimising background noise. Readout is performed using NGS or qPCR, supporting both high-plex discovery and mid-plex targeted workflows.

Quantitative and Qualitative Protein Analysis

Olink® Explore (NGS Readout)

High-throughput profiling for large-scale biomarker discovery studies. Measure hundreds to thousands of proteins simultaneously with minimal sample input, ideal for population-scale and systems biology research.

Olink® Target 48 / 96 (qPCR Readout)

Pathway-focused panels designed for hypothesis-driven research and biomarker validation. Exceptional dynamic range enables detection of both low- and high-abundance proteins.

Olink® Flex

Customisable protein panels supporting targeted assay development and translational research.
Together, the Olink portfolio enables a seamless transition from discovery to validation and clinical utility.

Why Choose Olink for Proteomics?
