Twist Bioscience Corporation, a leading mid-cap growth and value equity company within the life sciences sector of healthcare, announced the expansion of its portfolio with the launch of the Twist High Throughput (HT) Unique Dual Index (UDI) Adapter System. This new system is designed to support large-scale multiplexing and sample batching, significantly enhancing research productivity across a range of sequencing applications.
Indexing plays a pivotal role in the library preparation process, enabling researchers to multiplex and precisely track samples across many commonly used sequencing platforms. This process not only improves operational efficiency but also reduces overall sequencing costs. With the latest expansion, Twist has doubled its high throughput offering to an industry-leading 3,072 HT UDI Adapters, empowering customers to process thousands of samples simultaneously. This move further strengthens Twist’s diverse range of indexing solutions, which now spans HT UDI adapters and full-length adapters tailored for critical applications such as population genomics and PCR-free whole genome sequencing.
