Twist BioScience Corp. a company offering high-quality synthetic DNA using its silicon platform, launched Twist Express Genes, a new gene synthesis service with an order to shipping turnaround time of five to seven business days.

Twist leverages its ability to miniaturize the chemical reaction to creating DNA using its silicon-based DNA synthesis platform along with software, processes, and the expanded layout of its Wilsonville facility to deliver clonal genes and gene fragments at scale and with rapid turnaround times. Customers will be able to place orders for Express Genes through Twist’s ecommerce platform.

Twist Express Genes are NGS sequence verified as one hundred percent accurate, according to the company. Twist Express Genes can be cloned into catalog vectors or custom vectors so that customers can move right to experimentation. They can also be shipped in customers’ preferred delivery formats, including tube and plate.

“Twist Express Genes is our first new offering enabled by the increased capacity and streamlined processes in our Wilsonville facility,” said Emily Leproust, CEO, and co-founder of Twist Bioscience. “We are now able to deliver the same NGS-verified clonally perfect genes that our customers have come to expect from Twist in about half the time, at an unprecedented scale. We offer the rapid turnaround that our customers need in multiple formats and at the same speed for one or thousands of genes. With this new offering, we will focus initially on our current customers who we know are making some of their own genes.”
