Protein Biomarker Detection with Olink Proteomics

 

Leveraging Olink Proteomics® Proximity Extension Assay (PEA) technology, Azenta Life Sciences’ protein biomarker detection services enable detection and quantification of circulating proteins to provide an in-depth, biological understanding of disease and drug response. Unlike traditional methods, this approach enables high-throughput, simultaneous analysis of proteins with high specificity and sensitivity using minimal sample amounts. Processing is available for research use only (RUO) or can be performed in our CAP-accredited, CLIA-certified laboratory for clinical applications. 

For a multiomics approach, this proteomics service can be combined with Azenta’s genomic and transcriptomic solutions to provide a comprehensive understanding of molecular changes contributing to development, disease, and drug response in clinical trials.

OLINK PANELS FOR PROTEIN BIOMARKER DISCOVERY

Olink Target 48 Olink Target 96 Olink Explore 3072/384 
One of the broadest human cytokine inflammation panels available, Olink Target 48 allows for analysis of proteins with the highest relevance for investigation of inflammatory processes and diseases to support clinical trials. With Olink Target 96, choose from fifteen carefully designed panels built for specific areas of human disease and key biological processes. For researchers working with mouse models, Target 96 Mouse Exploratory is also available.  Comprised of eight 384-plex human disease focused panels, Olink Explore is both flexible and scalable; you may run the entire library or focus on one or more of the 384-plex panels.

Use the Target 48 cytokine panel to elucidate:

  • In vitro therapeutic effects on the number of cytokines produced
  • Candidate biomarkers for predicting response and/or toxicity
  • The immune system mechanism of action by coupling Target 48 cytokine panel with gene expression (RNA) data 
  • Immunogenicity induced by your agent in vivo

Disease area:

  • Cardiovascular Disease II, Cardiovascular Disease III, Oncology, Oncology III, Neurology, Inflammation, Immuno-oncology

Biological process:

  • Cardiometabolic, Cell regulation, Neuro-exploratory, Immune Response, Development, Metabolism, Organ Damage

These panels are organized into four disease areas:

  • Cardiometabolic
  • Inflammation
  • Neurology
  • Oncology

    •
