Olink Proteomics Panel Selection
The Olink proteomics panel is a high-throughput, high-sensitivity biomolecular analysis tool that enables the simultaneous analysis of hundreds of proteins in a single run. Selecting the most suitable panel can facilitate efficient data acquisition and interpretation for researchers. This guide provides detailed assistance to help you identify and select the optimal Olink proteomics panel for your research needs.
Define Research Objectives
Before selecting an Olink proteomics panel, it is crucial to define your research objectives. For instance, are you aiming to identify biomarkers associated with a specific disease or biological process, or are you planning to conduct a comprehensive proteomic analysis of particular samples? Clearly defining your research goals will guide you in choosing the most suitable type of panel.
Selecting the Appropriate Panel
Olink provides various proteomics panels, including:
1. Disease Focus Panels
These are tailored for specific diseases or biological processes, such as cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer.
2. Exploratory Panels
Designed for broad proteomic exploration, encompassing a wide variety of protein categories.
3. Immuno-Oncology Panels
Specifically designed for research in immuno-oncology.
When selecting a panel, consider:
1. Your research objectives
2. The type of samples you have
3. The specific protein categories you wish to analyze
Assessing Panel Performance
Once a panel is selected, its performance should be evaluated. This can be done by reviewing the technical data available on the Olink website, including the precision, reproducibility, and sensitivity metrics of the panel.
Undertaking Sample Analysis
Following the selection and evaluation of the panel, you can proceed with sample analysis. The duration of this process depends on the number of samples and the panel chosen, potentially spanning several weeks.
