Proteomics
Proteomics, the study of proteins, provides a comprehensive picture of disease phenotypes and mechanisms at the functional site. Through proteomics at a population scale, scientists can identify causal proteins, uncover novel pathways, and discover potential therapeutic targets. This holistic approach has the potential to revolutionize drug development.
GENEWIZ Proteomics Services uses Olink® Proximity Extension™ Assay (PEA™) technology to optimize the detection and quantification of circulating proteins. Unlike traditional methods, this approach enables high-throughput, simultaneous analysis of proteins with high specificity and sensitivity using minimal sample amounts. As a Certified Service Provider (CSP) of Olink proteomics technology, we offer uniquely scalable solutions from high-plex Olink Explore HT and Reveal, to mid-plex Target 48 and 96 assays, down to customized Flex and Focus assays. Processing is available for research use only (RUO) or can be performed in our GCP-compliant CAP-accredited, CLIA-certified laboratory for clinical applications.
