Press release: UPPSALA, Sweden, November 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Olink Holding AB (publ) (Nasdaq: OLK) today announced that it is now starting the delivery of Olink® Signature Q100, facilitating hands-on access for researchers to Olink technology with a new benchtop system dedicated to multiplex protein biomarker measurement.

This is one of Olink’s many developments currently underway to provide a broader offering of application-focused mid-plex solutions and more flexible customer offerings. It demonstrates Olink’s commitment to innovate and improve across all aspects of our growing portfolio, to better serve the needs of our customers within protein biomarker research.

“The Signature instrument is a welcome addition to the Olink family. Its small footprint, ease of use, and user-friendly interface make it a great addition to any lab performing Olink analysis,” says Tara Bryce, Operations Manager, CRLB-GMEL Clinical Research Laboratory & Biobank – Genetic & Molecular Epidemiology Laboratory, Hamilton, Canada.
