Twist Bioscience Accelerates Express Delivery for All Gene Fragment Formats
Twist Bioscience Corporation, a leading mid-cap growth and value equity company in the life sciences sector, has announced a significant enhancement to its synthetic DNA offering. Effective immediately, Twist is expanding its Express turnaround time to all Twist Gene Fragments, regardless of format or configuration. Customers can now receive high-quality gene fragments in as little as two business days, a move that reflects Twist’s continued innovation in synthetic biology manufacturing and logistics.
Faster Turnaround for All Configurations
Twist’s updated Express service covers both “adapters off” and “adapters on” gene fragment configurations, streamlining workflows for customers across a wide range of research and industrial applications.
“We continue to iterate our manufacturing processes, enhancing and expanding our products to meet our customers’ needs,” said Emily M. Leproust, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of Twist Bioscience.
“Now, our customers receive the same high-quality Twist Gene Fragments in the format they want, the scale they need, with the added benefit of faster turnaround regardless of configuration.”
The company’s automation-driven infrastructure allows it to maintain a consistent pricing model, starting at seven cents per base pair, without hidden fees—regardless of customization or fragment quantity.
Industry-Leading Efficiency and Transparency
Twist Bioscience’s latest enhancement to its gene fragment delivery services builds on its commitment to flexibility, affordability, and transparency. Customers can order any number of fragments, from a single sample to tens of thousands, all processed within 2–4 business days before shipping.
Key features of the updated offering include:
- No additional charges for adapter removal
- Standardized pricing for all configurations
- Delivery in multiple formats: tubes, plates, normalization, and resuspension
- Support for diverse applications including adapter addition, without affecting turnaround or cost
These improvements reduce the logistical burden on researchers while ensuring that custom DNA constructs are delivered quickly and ready for immediate use.
Best-in-Class Accuracy Reduces Experimental Risk
Twist Bioscience maintains the lowest error rate in the industry—just 1 error per 7,500 base pairs—providing a significant advantage for researchers in both academic and industrial settings.
This level of fidelity dramatically reduces the time and cost typically associated with:
- Picking colonies to verify clones
- Troubleshooting sequencing errors
- Delays in downstream processes due to mutations
By increasing reliability, researchers can move forward with greater confidence in their results, accelerating discovery in areas such as functional genomics, diagnostics, and synthetic biology.
