About the Twist Bioscience NGS portfolio

Best-in-class NGS solutions for every lab

Twist Bioscience develops NGS Target Enrichment Solutions with a focus on coverage quality, speed of delivery and full panel flexibility. The probes are manufactured on a unique silicon platform, which gives them higher accuracy and uniformity than traditional probes based on column purification.

For clinical and research laboratories alike, Twist offers a complete portfolio: custom enrichment panels, Twist Exome, library prep kits for low-input and FFPE samples, liquid biopsy solutions (cfDNA, MRD) and PCR-free WGS, all with NGS QC validation of every batch.

Custom panels

Fully customised target enrichment panels from a few to more than 1,000,000 probes, for DNA, RNA and methylation workflows.

Exome solutions

Twist Exome 2.0 and Comprehensive Exome with the best coverage uniformity on the market, plus a mitochondrial panel.

MRD panels

Targeted NGS panels for highly sensitive monitoring of minimal residual disease (MRD) through the detection of tumour-specific variants in circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA).

Unique NGS probe manufacturing technology

Silicon platform — precise probes for NGS

Traditional probe manufacturing takes place on columns: it is slow, costly and limited in volume. Twist moved this process onto a silicon chip. Hundreds of thousands of probes are produced in parallel on a single chip, with precise control over every position.

The result? Highly accurate dsDNA probes with NGS QC validation, large-scale manufacturing capability and full customisation from a few to more than a million probes in a single panel. For NGS this means better coverage uniformity, a higher on-target rate and lower sequencing capacity requirements for the same (or better) result.

  • Hundreds of thousands of NGS probes produced in parallel on a single chip
  • Precise control of every position, minimal error rate
  • NGS QC validation of every probe batch
  • Full customisation from a few to more than 1,000,000 probes
  • Shorter lead time than column-based manufacturing

How the Twist Bioscience silicon platform works

Key advantages of Twist NGS products

Four pillars Twist Bioscience builds on

Uniformity

High coverage uniformity thanks to precisely designed probes. Consistent coverage even in difficult regions, including GC-rich sequences.

Customisation

Custom panels from a few to more than 1,000,000 probes. Coverage of individual regions can be adjusted to your requirements.

Speed

Our applications team will help you with the design. Custom panels are manufactured within 3 weeks, MRD Express panels even within 24 hours.

Scalability

Twist supports projects ranging from small targeted panels to large-scale genomic studies, with the option to tailor products to the specific needs of research and clinical applications.

Less sequencing capacity = more samples

Higher coverage uniformity at lower sequencing depth

Twist probes achieve higher coverage uniformity across target regions. You can therefore reach the same target coverage (e.g. 100×) with less sequencing, which means a lower cost per sample and more samples in a single sequencing run.

Cumulative coverage

Cumulative coverage

Twist (green) vs. competitor (grey): a higher percentage of bases above the target depth at the same sequencing capacity.

Coverage uniformity

Coverage uniformity

Twist probes achieve higher coverage uniformity across target regions.
