We developed the Twist Bioscience DNA Synthesis Platform to address the limitations of throughput, scalability and cost inherent in legacy DNA synthesis methods. Applying rigorous engineering principles to harness the highly-scalable production and processing infrastructure of the semiconductor industry allows us to achieve precision in manufacturing DNA at scale. We have industrialized the production of cost-effective, high-fidelity, high-throughput DNA, which is delivered to our customers via seamless Online Ordering.
Silicon-powered DNA synthesis
Twist Bioscience developed a proprietary semiconductor-based synthetic DNA manufacturing process featuring a high-throughput silicon platform that allows us to miniaturize the chemistry necessary for DNA synthesis. This miniaturization allows us to reduce the reaction volumes by a factor of 1,000,000 while increasing throughput by a factor of 1,000, enabling the synthesis of 9,600 genes on a single silicon chip at full scale. Traditional synthesis methods produce a single gene in the same physical space using a 96-well plate.
TRADITIONAL METHODS
96 Oligos = 1 Gene
OUR SILICON PLATFORM
> 1 Million Oligos = 9,600 Genes
The benefit of our technology is that each cluster is addressable and discrete. By avoiding complications, we save you time and money.
Make Twist Bioscience part of your green initiative
Our methods dramatically removes the amount of solvent being used which decreases potential contamination.
Twist Bioscience “writes” DNA so you can reimagine biology.
