Olink® Flex validation & verification
This white paper transparently presents some of the results from our verification and validation tests carried out during the development of Olink Flex.
Podcast with Katarina Hornaeus – product manager Flex
Listen to Katarina explaining how Olink performs the validation of each combination of mix and match assays from the Flex library. She also explains why you can trust the 99% combinability of these assays and how this compares to other products on the market.
A straightforward protocol designed to maximize data quality
This robust workflow with no washing steps and pre-defined sample dilution schemes reduces the user-to-user variability and minimizes the risk for human error.
How does Olink compare to other multiplex protein analysis platforms?
This white paper describes a study comparing three established multiplex platforms for measuring multiple cytokines, with performance measured by dynamic range, precision, dilution series in buffer, and linearity .
