OLINK® | Comprehensive Biomarker Discovery
Let Experts at Randox Run Your Samples
As one of the UK’s first commercial partners of Olink® Proximity Extension Assay (PEA) technology, a sensitive and high-throughput technology. In PEA, pairs of oligonucleotide-labeled antibodies are used to capture and detect target proteins, and the proximity of the antibodies leads to the formation of a DNA amplicon that can be quantified by qPCR or Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).
Randox offer scientists involved in drug development, clinical, or basic life science research, the service they need to run large-scale discovery proteomics.
Considered as a next-gen proteomics platform, Olink® technology is widely recognised and extensively cited in various research fields for protein profiling and biomarker development.
As an Olink® Certified Service Provider, Randox are experts in generating high-quality data using all Olink® proteomic platforms.
