    Access
    Expanding access to emerging biomarkers

    Research needs continue to evolve, creating demand for rising-interest biomarkers that may not yet be incorporated into standard assay portfolios. On-demand assays broaden access to emerging biomarkers, including protein forms and variants. This initial offering is particularly relevant to neurology research, with future expansion expected across oncology, inflammation and immunology, and cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic (CKM) research.

    Biomarker

    Description

    pTau181

    Historical standard for blood-based Alzheimer’s disease research

    pTau231

    Emerging blood-based Alzheimer’s marker for early disease detection

    Amyloid beta 1-38

    Complements Aβ40 and Aβ42 to characterize amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing

    Total BD-Tau

    Brain-derived Tau isoforms, specifically measuring Tau originating from central nervous system

    BD-pTau217 and BD-pTau181

    Peripheral background signal reduction compared to total pTau217 (Olink™ T48 Neurodegeneration) and total pTau1812

    ApoE4

    Detects total ApoE4 (carrier status); not intended for apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotyping

    1. Multiplexing may be limited for on-demand assays, and inclusion in a custom panel is subject to the combination of all selected (also non-on-demand) assays. Detectability depends on the intended application and customer sample type. All on-demand assays require feasibility testing with customer samples before initiation of full custom panel development.

    2. Brain-derived Tau phosphorylated at residues 217 and 181, representing the CNS-origin component within total pTau217 (Olink™ T48 Neurodegeneration) and total pTau181 measurements.

    Process
    Your custom Olink Focus panel journey

    Collaborate with an Olink specialist to design a study-specific Olink Focus panel that is optimized for your research requirements, from initial design through development and delivery.

    Design

    We work with you to create a custom Olink Focus panel based on your project-specific data and study requirements.

    Development

    Your custom Olink Focus panel is developed and analytically characterized to meet your specific study requirements. Using your samples, performance is optimized for your intended application.

    Delivery

    Your custom Olink Focus panels are delivered directly to you or the lab that will run the analysis. A Certificate of Analysis and panel data file for software analysis are also provided.
