Data Ecosystem
Generate analysis-ready proteomic data with confidence

Move from raw data to reliable, high-quality proteomics results with integrated Olink workflows that support automatic quality control, so your downstream analysis starts with confident results.

Data journey

Where data generation and QC fit in your data journey

Data generation and quality control (QC) are the bridge between study design and downstream proteomics analysis. This stage focuses on preprocessing, sample quality assessment, and quality control to prepare for reliable statistical analysis and biological interpretation.

Study Design

Plan your proteomics study with the right design, sample strategy, and endpoints for confident downstream analysis.

    Go from reads to NPX in one data ecosystem

    Automated QC

    Identify outliers and perform QC assessments

    Pre-analytical variation

    Assess potential sample handling effects

    Compliance ready

    Support E-signatures & audit trails for regulated workflows

    Scalable & flexible

    Choose from desktop or command-line workflow

    Ready for analysis

    Generate normalized NPX output or absolute quantification

      Addressing pre-analytical variation in proteomics

      Learn how the Olink Sample Index helps quantify sources of pre-analytical variation from sample handling to support higher confidence proteomics data quality.

      Olink Shield
      Support compliance and traceability

      For teams working in regulated environments, Olink Shield adds role-based electronic signatures, audit trails, and controlled user access to NPX Signature and Olink Signature Q100 software. Every action is logged, every approval signed, and every role defined, enabling your proteomics workflow to meet 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. Additionally, data integrity safeguards maintain complete, consistent, and accurate records, giving you confidence in compliance and traceability.
