Next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based proteomics services offer a practical alternative to building in-house capabilities, giving you immediate access to sequencing and analytical expertise without having to invest in the required infrastructure. Outsourcing NGS-based protein sequencing services can help you reduce costs, accelerate timelines, and scale studies efficiently while ensuring high-quality, reproducible results. Combining high–plex proteomics assays with the power and scalability of NGS enables simultaneous interrogation of thousands of proteins in a single sample, maximizing the discovery power of proteomic studies. In addition, NGS-based proteomics services offer scalable multiplexing with the flexibility to increase content to support large-scale applications.

Benefits of NGS-based proteomics services
Illumina Protein Prep service overview
Illumina Protein Prep proteomics services utilize Illumina Protein Prep, a high-throughput NGS assay that can detect and quantify over 9500 unique human proteins from a single sample across more than 200 biological pathways. Illumina Protein Prep is the largest NGS-based proteomic panel on the market, with 4000 more protein targets than the leading antibody-based assay.1 Illumina Protein Prep uses slow off-rate modified aptamer (SOMAmer) Reagents, validated through methods like mass spectrometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), to ensure reliable and reproducible results at the speed and scale of NGS.

Process overview
The following is a typical process when working with your Illumina Protein Prep service provider.
| 1. Consultation | After reaching out to an Illumina specialist, you’ll be connected to a trusted service provider through the Illumina network. During this phase, you'll discuss your research goals, sample types, desired outcomes, and any specific requirements such as target protein panels or data analysis needs. |
| 2. Sample submission and intake | Providers will guide you through sample preparation requirements and shipping protocols. Upon receipt, samples are logged, assessed for quality, and prepared for processing. |
| 3. Library preparation | Using Illumina Protein Prep kits, the service providers convert protein samples into sequencing-ready libraries. |
| 4. Sequencing | Libraries are sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq X Series or NovaSeq 6000 sequencing systems, enabling detection of up to ~9500 unique human proteins. Sequencing parameters are optimized based on project scope. |
| 5. Data analysis and QC | Service providers deliver comprehensive QC metrics and offer basic or advanced data analysis. This may include protein quantification and bioinformatics interpretation tailored to your research questions. |
| 6. Delivery of results | Final data sets are securely delivered along with documentation and optional consultation to help interpret findings. Providers may also support integration with other omics data if needed. |
