Olink Analysis Services

At Olink, we provide high-capacity analysis service for comprehensive protein biomarker analyses using our multiplexed panels. Dedicated specialists will work with you to provide high quality data to accelerate research and make informed decisions faster.

Next-generation proteomics as a service

Regardless of where you are in the world, the size of your study, if you work at an academic institution, hospital or pharma company, you are welcome to send your samples to one of Olink’s qualified service laboratories for analysis.

Design and assay setup

Together, let’s determine the optimal setup to maximize the output of your analysis. We value a collaborative approach to ensure your research benefits from the best possible configuration.

Sample analysis

Your samples are in expert hands at our high-throughput Service Laboratories in Uppsala, Sweden, and Boston, US, where our dedicated team ensures world-class analysis.

Data normalization

Before analysis, let’s align on normalization strategies. Normalization is important to remove systematic variation but needs to be applied carefully to minimize the risk of removing true biological variation.

Working with Olink Analysis Service

Our qualified service laboratories in Uppsala and Boston will support you from pre-study discussions to results. We analyze samples from focused studies with a small number of samples to full biobanks. If you need support or want to discuss additional analysis of your data after your project, Olink will be at your service all the way.

Our work with Olink on plasma-based immuno-oncology (IO) applications has allowed the identification of tumor and immune changes associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor response/non-response. This is particularly exciting as we combine this technology with deep tumor-based analysis to understand tumor-immune interactions and establish predictive and/or monitoring tools for IO. The small volume required for Olink analysis is a game-changer as it allows multi-analyte assessment of samples and validation of findings by multiple orthogonal platforms.

Genevieve M. Boland, Director Melanoma Surgery Program, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston

My interest in biomarkers grew in parallel to the growth of Olink. In 2014, when I first selected the Olink technology for an important EU-funded program I was coordinating, the company had only a handful of employees. Since then, Olink’s growth has been amazing. Yet, they still behave like partners, not simple providers. I have since recommended Olink to many international colleagues.

Having a comprehensive panel that can handle small volumes with high sensitivity is a game-changer for studying disease. We no longer need to focus on one or two cytokines at a time. We can look at a whole bunch of them and then extrapolate the entire immunological and clinical process.

A scalable service

Olink’s qualified service laboratories analyze samples from focused studies with a small number of samples to full biobanks.

Case study

The Human Disease Blood Atlas

The Human Disease Blood Atlas provides access to proteomic profiles from patients with various diseases. The first release, focusing on cancer, analyzes 1,463 proteins across 15 cancer types using Olink Explore and data from over 1,500 U-CAN biobank patients.

Case study

UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project  

In April 2023, The UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project was analyzed on the Olink Explore 3072 platform by Olink Analysis Service. This ongoing population-scale project, backed by a pharma consortium, applied the Olink Explore platform for proteomic analysis of over 50,000 participants. To date, over 10,000 genetic associations for 1,463 proteins have been released, with more to come.
