Okay. So. That rolodex of people who are interested in doing proteomics but don't want to investigate the technologies that are available that have evidence that they work?
And...honestly....having competing technologies out there will keep O-Link from setting the prices of doing population scale projects at whatever they want to until LCMS proteomics works to throw off the reputations and limitations of the past.
So....those things have value....
So...it's not the most expensive purchase in biotech history. Is it the one that right this second I feel most strongly negative about? Yes.
Look - maybe Illumina will use their vast reach and capabilities to prove once and for all that a Somamer can provide a meaningful QUANTITATIVE measurement of a protein in a complex mixture. I have been waiting for one (1) single experiment to show that is the case... since I first heard of this in 2017? I think I'll change my mind just as fast as I did on the O-Link technology when evidence came out that O-Link protein readouts have value.
