Engineered for NGS library amplification, Twist TrueAmp Polymerase delivers uniform coverage across GC extremes, high sensitivity from low inputs, and automation ready hot start performance.
TrueAmp sustains coverage where others drop out, improving sequencing economics and preserving difficult targets.
With improved efficiency, TrueAmp can hit yield targets in fewer cycles, limiting cycle-induced artifacts. It remains robust for low-yield libraries typical of post-capture PCR.
An engineered proofreading polymerase reduces C→T misincorporations often caused by cytosine deamination and limits slippage across long homopolymers—critical for sensitive variant detection.
Magnetic beads are widely used for purification and size selection but can inhibit PCR and lower yields.

Many PCR enzymes are optimized for single-amplicon tasks (qPCR, cloning) rather than complex NGS libraries.
TrueAmp changes the approach
An engineered proofreading, high-processivity DNA polymerase that delivers best-in-class GC uniformity, yield, and fidelity for library amplification.
The result
Fewer biases toward short, GC-neutral molecules and more usable data per run.
