Olink Proteomics

NXTGNT provides advanced proteomic analysis using Olink® Explore HT, Olink® Explore 3072, Olink® Target 96 & 48, and Olink Reveal assays. Utilizing Olink® Proximity Extension Assay (PEA) technology, this approach ensures highly specific detection of protein targets. Each target protein is recognized by a unique pair of oligonucleotide-linked antibodies, forming a distinct template for subsequent detection via qPCR (in Olink® Target 48 & 96) or Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). The Olink® panels are capable of measuring a wide range of protein concentrations, accommodating both normal and pathological sample conditions. This highly sensitive antibody-based technology excels in measuring low-concentration human plasma proteins, such as interleukins and hormones, down to picogram per milliliter levels. Additionally, the minimal volume requirement for body fluid samples makes this methodology ideal for challenging proteomics samples like plasma & serum, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), urine, tissue lysate, interstitial fluid/microdialysis, ocular fluids, saliva, synovial fluid, fine needle biopsies, and more … More info on the Olink website

How does the technology work?

Minimal sample requirement
Olink® PEA technology is based on dual recognition of each protein target by a pair of highly specific, oligonucleotide-linked, antibodies creating a unique template for subsequent detection by q-PCR (Olink®Target96) or NGS readout (Olink®Explore).

Olink® Target 48

Explore Olink Target 48 Cytokine and Immune Surveillance panels

Olink® Target 48 Cytokine is the ultimate solution for studies of inflammation and the immune response. Our thorough biomarker selection allows for simultaneous quantification of 45 low abundance proteins, relevant across a variety of diseases.
Olink® Reveal

Olink Reveal is an NGS‑based proteomics library prep kit that lets labs profile >1,000 proteins (especially inflammation/immune response related) using small volumes (around 4 µL) of plasma, serum, or similar samples.

Its workflow is designed to be affordable, with low hands‑on time (≈2.5 hours), minimal specialized equipment, and compatibility with standard NGS sequencing platforms.

The product includes curated, robustly detectable proteins with a high proportion of genetic validation (cis‑pQTLs), aimed at enabling broad, accessible proteomics for inflammation, immune response, and population‑scale studies.
