Olink Precision Proteomics Analysis Service
Product Description With the accomplishment of human whole genome sequencing, medical research has moved from genomics to the post-genomic era. The research value of proteins as functional executors of life activities is gaining more and more attention. Protein biomarkers can serve as important features in pathophysiology, bridge the gap between genome and phenotype, and have a profound impact on improving future healthcare, especially in precision medicine. However, the progress has been stunted by the lack of technologies that can provide high specificity, sensitivity, and throughput. The emergence of Olink technology, however, can break through these obstacles and accelerate the development of proteomics in the field of precision medicine. Technology principle. Olink protein detection platform is based on the neighbor extension technology Proximity Extension Assay (PEA) for protein detection. For each protein to be detected, a pair of antibodies is designed at two adjacent antigenic epitopes, which are coupled to a specific DNA single strand with paired bases at the end of the single strand. When the pair of antibodies binds to the target protein, the two adjacent DNA single strands are hybridized and complemented and extended in an enzymatic reaction, which then forms a double-stranded template. The detection of the double-stranded template using microfluidic qPCR or NGS enables the quantitative analysis of the protein. This technique cleverly converts protein quantification to DNA quantification, solving the problem that proteins cannot be amplified, thus enabling the detection of trace amounts of proteins. Technical advantages. 1. High specificity: High specificity by using two antibodies to recognize one protein, labeling and full validation by Barcode. 2. Wide dynamic range: The entire panel spans 10 log values, allowing simultaneous consideration of proteins of different abundance. 3. High sensitivity: The detection sensitivity is as low as fg/mL level, which can detect thousands of disease-related low abundance proteins (especially low abundance biomarkers in plasma and serum samples) at the histological level. 4. High detection throughput: 96/384/3072panel, each panel can detect 88 samples at a time. By combining qPCR and NGS high throughput detection platform, it can produce millions of protein data per week. 5. Micro sample: 48-384 protein markers can be detected simultaneously in 1μL plasma, and more than 3000 protein markers can be detected in 8μL plasma. 6. High reproducibility: strict quality control, 99.8% of proteins without cross-reactivity, mature detection platform, high data quality, good reproducibility, suitable for large data analysis requirements, and the reproducibility requirements of clinical translational applications. Application areas. Biomarker research: disease risk assessment, disease typing, disease prediction, disease diagnosis and prognosis. Drug discovery: drug target discovery, clinical treatment effect evaluation, basic research.
Protein qualitative analysis services
a. Protein full-spectrum analysis Protein full-spectrum analysis can also be called mass spectrometry shotgun analysis. which refers to the component analysis.The Objects of study are complete tissues, body fluids or their extracts, with the aim of identifying as many peptides and protein molecules as possible. The basic principle of protein mass spectrometry identification is to digest proteins into peptide mixtures by proteases, and then ionize them by electron bombardment or other means to form charged ions with different mass-to-charge ratios, and then separate the peptide ions with specific mass-to-charge ratios by a mass analyzer. The protein was identified by comparing the actual spectrogram with the primary and secondary mass spectra of protein digested by protease in theory.

Targeted metabolomics
Targeted metabolomics analysis is the targeted and specific detection and analysis of the specified metabolites in the list by using standard samples as controls. The key points of targeted metabolomics analysis are high accuracy, high throughput and high reliability. Although this type of analysis is more routine than metabolic profiling, it can be used for very large numbers of samples. Targeted metabolomics can be applied to. (1) Validating new findings and hypotheses proposed by metabolomics experiments; (2) Conducting hypothesis-based exploratory experiments and studying metabolic models for specific metabolites. Basic Research Process The process of targeted metabolomics research can be divided into: sample collection, standard curve creation, metabolite extraction and isolation, on-line assay, and data analysis.   Sample types Serum - Plasma - Urine - Cerebrospinal fluid - Saliva - Feces - Microorganisms - Cells - Plants - Tissues - Others     Targeted metabonomics services and cycles are shown in the following table: 靶向代谢组学服务和周期 平台 仪器型号 代谢物 化合物数目 检测周期 检测价格 GC-MS/MS Aglient 7890A-5975C或8890-7010B 短链脂肪酸 11种短链脂肪酸 约15个工作日 请询价 游离脂肪酸 37种游离脂肪酸 UHPLC-QqQ MS SCIEX QTRAP 4500或Triple Quad 4500 维生素 12种水溶性 约20个工作日 请询价 氨基酸 32种氨基酸 神经递质 27种神经递质 植物激素 10种植物激素 胆汁酸 48种胆汁酸 辅酶 18种辅酶 抗生素 105种抗生素   11种短链脂肪酸绝对定性定量分析 序号 中文名称 英文名称 分子式 CAS号 相对分子质量 1 乙酸 acetic acid C2H4O2 64-19-7 60.05 2 丙酸 propionic acid C3H6O2 79-09-4 74.08 3 异丁酸 isobutyric acid C4H8O2 79-31-2 88.11 4 丁酸 n-butyric acid C4H8O2 107-92-6 88.11 5 异戊酸 isovaleric acid C5H10O2 503-74-2 102.13 6 戊酸 n-valeric acid C5H10O2 109-52-4 102.13 7 4-甲基戊酸 4-methylvaleric acid C6H12O2 646-07-1 116.16 8 正己酸 hexanoic acid C6H12O2 142-62-1 116.15 9 2-甲基己酸 2-methylhexanoic acid C7H14O2 4536-23-6 130.18 10 正庚酸 n-heptylic acid C7H14O2 111-14-8 130.18 11 正辛酸 n-octanoic acid C8H16O2 124-07-2 144.21   37种游离脂肪酸绝对定性定量分析 编号 中文名称 英文名称 简写 1 丁酸 butyric acid C4:0 2 己酸 caproic acid C6:0 3 辛酸 caprylic acid C8:0 4 癸酸 capric acid C10:0 5 十一烷酸 undecanoic acid C11:0 6 月桂酸 lauric acid C12:0 7 十三烷酸 tridecanoic acid C13:0 8 十四酸 myristic acid C14:0 9 十四碳烯酸 myristoleic acid C14:1n5 10 十五烷酸 pentadecanoic acid C15:0 11 顺-10-十五碳烯酸 cis-10-pentadecenoic acid C15:1n5 12 棕榈酸 palmitic acid C16:0 13 棕榈油酸 palmitoleic acid C16:1n7 14 十七烷酸 heptadecanoic acid C17:0 15 顺-10-十七烯酸 cis-10-heptadecenoic acid C17:1n7 16 硬脂酸 stearic acid C18:0 17 反油酸 elaidic acid C18:1n9t 18 油酸 oleic acid C18:1n9c 19 反亚油酸 linolelaidic acid C18:2n6t 20 亚油酸 linoleic acid C18:2n6c 21 γ-亚麻酸 r-linolenic acid C18:3n6 22 α-亚麻酸 α-linolenic acid C1
Non-targeted metabolomics
Non-targeted metabolomics (i.e. discovery metabolomics) is a non-hypothetical approach that aims to obtain as many metabolites as possible from a single analysis. The main purpose is to compare the metabolomes (all metabolites of a given organism) of the control and experimental groups to find out the differences in their metabolites and to explore the metabolic pathways between the differential metabolites. The analysis generally includes: a. Metabolic profiling (also called differential expression analysis): looking for metabolites of interest with statistically significant abundance changes in a set of experimental and control samples. b. Identification: After performing metabolic profiling, the chemical structure of these metabolites is determined. c. Interpretation: The final step in the research process, explaining the association between the metabolites found and the biological process or biological state. Research Process The non-targeted metabolomics research process can be mainly divided into experimental design, sample collection and processing, metabolite extraction and concentration, sample detection, data analysis, metabolite identification, and finally biological interpretation. Because the metabolome changes extremely fast, the metabolite species are various, the concentration varies greatly, the chemical properties are different, and the data information is huge, each step may have a large impact on the final results, so it is crucial to realize the standardized operation of metabolomics   Technology platform The main platforms for non-targeted metabolomics are nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), each of which has a certain bias, so researchers need to choose the appropriate platform according to the purpose of the study and the type of samples. The purpose is to achieve a more complete and comprehensive study. Table Comparison of major assay platforms for non-targeted Major Assay Platforms Advantages Disadvantages NMR 1. High throughput 2.

Short instrument life   Data analysis methods The data obtained from non-targeted metabolomics are complex and multidimensional, and the chemometric methods need to be fully applied to deeply explore the information in them. The data are generally pre-processed first, and the specific process includes normalization, data transformation, centralization, and normalization steps. Only after pre-processing, simplification and dimensionality reduction of the data are realized, and reliable data models are established. The pattern recognition methods applied to metabolomics data analysis mainly include unsupervised learning methods and supervised learning methods. The unsupervised learning methods mainly include: principal component analysis (PCA), nonlinear mapping, cluster analysis, etc. Supervised learning methods are mainly based on partial least squares (PLS), neural network improvement methods, least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), orthogonal least squares (OPLS), etc., among which PCA and PLS-DA are commonly used pattern recognition methods in metabolomics.   Non-targeted metabolomics data processing process   Sample types Serum - Plasma - Urine - Cerebrospinal fluid - Saliva - Feces - Microorganisms - Cells - Plants - Tissues – Other   Lead time
