Olink Holding AB (publ) announced that it is now taking orders for Olink® Flex, a fully flexible made-to-order product to select and combine up to 21 human proteins using absolute quantification in one biomarker panel. With the introduction of Olink® Flex, the Company offers a mix-and-match solution for efficient creation of custom protein biomarker panels with uncompromised data quality, unparalleled specificity, high sensitivity, broad dynamic range, and short turnaround time. Additionally, the solution features absolute quantification methodology for protein concentration measurement, an important feature for many applications spanning clinical to basic research.

Using an online panel builder in Olink® Insight, customers can freely pick and choose 15 to 21 pre-validated assays from over 200 human protein biomarkers covering major biological pathways such as inflammation, immuno-oncology and oncology, neurology, and cardiovascular disease. With this new product line, Olink enables customers to easily design customized biomarker panels that include the protein assays of their choice, tailored to specific research needs. This latest high-performance solution based on Olink® Proximity Extension Assay (PEA) technology accelerates targeted protein biomarker studies in academic and clinical research to investigate inflammatory processes and immune responses, understand mechanisms of disease and validate unique biomarker signatures.

Olink Flex is fully compatible with Olink® Signature Q100, a low maintenance, auto-calibrated instrument for data readout that facilitates unattended operation. Work efficiency is further increased by the streamlined assay workflow with minimal hands-on time and no need for time-consuming washing steps. With this latest addition, the Olink technology platform now scales from the high-plex product Olink® Explore 3072, to mid-plex Olink® Target 96 and Target 48, down to customized low-plex Olink® Focus and Olink® Flex.
