    🔗 Validation data results Updated July 28, 2023

    Target 96 Cardiometabolic

    Panel uses a 1:2025 dilution of sample. The measuring ranges shown in Figure 3 correspond to the concentrations in the original biological sample, whereas the figures quoted in Table 1 represent the actual concentration of recombinant analyte measurable in the validation assay. A multiplication factor of 2025 should therefore be taken into consideration when comparing the addressable biological concentration to the in vitro validation data.

    Target 96 CVD III

    Note: the CVD III panel uses a 1:100 dilution of sample. The measuring ranges shown in Figure 3 correspond to the concentrations in the original biological sample, whereas the figures quoted in Table 1 represent the actual concentration of recombinant analyte measurable in the validation assay. A multiplication factor of 100 should therefore be taken into consideration when comparing the addressable biological concentration to the in vitro validation data.

    Protein assay lists

    Here you can access the complete biomarker assay list for each panel, listing the long name, short name, and UniProt number for each protein. For Olink Explore panels, the approved Gene name, recommended full Protein name, and the UniProt ID is presented. Since an individual protein may have a number of commonly used names or abbreviations, we recommend using the UniProt ID provided to search the UniProt website if there is any uncertainty.

    If you want to search for markers in our complete biomarker library, go to our Protein biomarker search page.

    Please note that the content of some panels may have been updated over time. The documents below refer to the most recently available version of the panel only. If you need a previous version of one of our Biomarker list documents that refers to an older version of the panel, please contact us directly.
