Business Wire
Adds to robust offering of NGS tools enabling
exome sequencing, whole genome sequencing, RNA sequencing, deep
sequencing for liquid biopsy research and MRD, and methylation
detection
Diverse portfolio of adapter sets now includes
industry leading number of unique indexes at 3,072 HT UDI
Adapters
Enables multiplexing and high throughput
sequencing
Twist Bioscience Corporation (NASDAQ: TWST), a core mid-cap
growth and value equity company in the life sciences segment of the
health care sector, today announced the expanded launch of the
Twist High Throughput (HT) Unique Dual Index (UDI) Adapter System
to enable multiplexing and sample batching at scale.
Indexing is a critical part of the library preparation workflow
and enables researchers to multiplex and track samples on many
commonly used sequencing platforms, increasing efficiency and
reducing overall sequencing costs. With the expanded launch, Twist
doubles its current high throughput offering to 3,072 HT UDI
Adapters for customers running high throughput experiments,
empowering them to run thousands of samples at once. This also
significantly broadens Twist’s diverse portfolio of indexing
solutions, which now includes HT UDI adapters as well as
full-length adapters that enable key applications like population
genomics and PCR-free whole genome sequencing.
“As we continue to expand our portfolio of NGS tools that work
between the sample and the sequencer, we see more core labs,
biotech and pharma companies, research institutions and medical
centers choose Twist products to enable multiple steps in their
workflows,” said Emily M. Leproust, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of
Twist Bioscience. “For customers running large scale population
studies, validating genetic biomarkers or screening target
therapeutics, our industry leading number of 3,072 high throughput
UDI adapters enables them to run samples at scale.”
Twist High Throughput Unique Dual Index Adapter
System
The Twist High Throughput UDI Adapter System adds to Twist’s
portfolio of universal adapter systems, which include the Twist
Universal Adapter System and Twist Full Length UDIs. The Twist HT
UDIs are 12 base pairs in length, 10 um concentration and come in
automation-friendly configurations of 96 or 384 well plates of
adapters. All 3,072 unique indexes take into consideration base and
color channel balancing, making them optimal for either two-color
or four-color chemistries.
