Exhibit (a)(5)(Q)

Olink Tender Offer Extension Employee Letter from Olink CEO

May 1, 2024

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to update you on recent developments in our agreement to combine with Thermo Fisher Scientific.

This week, Thermo Fisher announced here that it has extended the timeframe for Olink shareholders to “tender” their shares into Thermo Fisher’s offer. This step was taken to allow for time to obtain the required regulatory approvals.

As you know, our Board recommends that all Olink shareholders tender their shares into the offer. If you are an Olink shareholder, you can reach out with any questions and requests about the tender offer to Georgeson LLC at +1 866-821-2550 (U.S. toll-free), +1-781-222-0033 (outside U.S. & Canada) or +46-846-007-389 (Sweden), or via email at olink@georgeson.com. A copy of the tender offer materials may be obtained at the website maintained by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

The extended deadline for the tender offer is 5:00 p.m., New York time, on June 18, 2024. That said, if certain of the conditions to closing the tender offer, including obtaining the required regulatory approvals, are not satisfied as of the extended deadline, the tender offer may be further extended to permit such conditions to be satisfied. Olink shareholders who have already tendered their shares do not have to take any additional action as a result of this extension.

We are very optimistic in our path forward. We remain excited about the transaction with Thermo Fisher and the benefits we expect this combination will provide for our stakeholders – including Olink employees. Thermo Fisher and Olink are continuing to work cooperatively with the regulators and continue to expect the transaction to be completed by mid-2024. Until then, we remain separate companies, and it is business as usual.

You may get questions from people outside our organization regarding this tender offer extension announcement. If you receive inquiries from the media, please do not comment and direct them to David Deuchler via email at olink@gilmartinir.com. If you’re contacted by an investor or other outside party, please do not respond and forward to olink@georgeson.com.

We will continue to keep you updated as we work towards close. As always, thank you for your dedication and focus.

Sincerely,

Jon Heimer

Chief Executive Officer
