The premier handheld Raman system for rapid onsite raw material verification: easy, fast, flexible, and transparent.

The Coriolis Micro portable biological air sampler is a standard for testing air quality. Both indoors and outdoors, it’s the most efficient biological air sampler: It can take just 10 minutes to collect airborne particles using its cyclonic technology paired with a high suction rate. By generating samples in the fluid phase, Coriolis µ is compatible with rapid microbiological analysis methods.

A comprehensive range of beads and tubes for sample preparation

The Port-a-Patch is a miniaturized semi-automated patch clamp system supporting giga-seal recordings from one cell at a time. It offers fast and easy access to patch clamp data with only minimal training. Not only a powerful research tool but also ideal for educational purposes and quick tests of cells and ion channels.

The Patchliner is a fully automated patch clamp system which records from either 4 or 8 cells simultaneously. The HEKA EPC10 amplifiers, full control over the pipette speed, ability to change protocols on-the-fly and flexible add-ons for temperature control and dynamic clamp make this instrument the most versatile APC system on the market. 

Krystal™ Assay Microplates

Reliable Drop Setting: Reduce Costs + Increase Reproducibility The NT8 ® - Drop Setter/Crystallization Robot is a fast, nanoliter-volume liquid handler with drop dispensing capability, including setting drops for Lipidic Cubic Phase (LCP) experiments. The 8-tip head aspirates and dispenses drops from 10 nL to 1.5 μL.

Build Crystallization Screens with Ease The FORMULATOR ® - Screen Builder is a next-generation liquid handler specifically designed for Protein Crystallography that uses patented microfluidic technology to dispense up to 34 different ingredients to design even the most complex optimization screens. A 96-nozzle dispensing chip can dispense any volume of any ingredient of any viscosity into any well.

The NucleoCounter® NC-202™ automated cell counter is our 3rd generation cassette-based image cytometer. Featuring improved hardware and new NC-View™ software, we take precision, speed and data management to new levels.

The Via2-Cassette™ is our unique cell sampling device, eliminating human error by combining cell sampling, staining and loading into a single press on a piston. Individually volume-calibrated, it guarantees the highest precision in cell counting. The Via2-Cassette™ is a disposable plastic unit containing the fluorescent dyes used for analysis to ensure user safety and operational ease.

NucleoCounter® instruments provide platforms for determination of viability and cell count as well as advanced image analysis of yeast, veterinary semen, insect cells and mammalian cells, both primary cells and cell cultures, including cells in aggregate or microcarrier cultures.

The XcytoMatic® 40 (XM40™) is a high-throughput cell density and viability analyzer that can run 24 samples in under 14 minutes. The variation between cell counts for these samples is under 3%. If scale-out and scale-up is a concern, you can trust each XM40™ instrument in your production to deliver the same quality results.

Twist Bioscience’s platform is capable of synthesizing thousands of genes each day to meet all your DNA needs. Our silicon-based scalability and high precision oligo production results in high quality DNA synthesis and assembly; qualities that allow Twist to create perfect genes of various lengths and difficulty, NGS-verified and delivered on-time when you need them.

Twist Oligo Pools are highly diverse collections of single-stranded oligonucleotides synthesized using our silicon-based DNA writing technology. Our synthesis platform enables massively parallel production of hundreds of thousands of high-quality, accurate oligos per run.

Twist Bioscience Gene Fragments improve your cloning process by minimizing colony screening. This allows you to save time and money by dramatically reducing cloning and sequencing costs. Think bigger, design on a grander scale, and accelerate your discoveries.

Unleash the full power of a well-designed library. With Twist Bioscience, you are assured that the library you design contains the specific modifications, exactly where you want them, saving you valuable resources for the downstream screening process.

Twist Custom Panels allow customers to create a customized NGS target enrichment panel that targets their specific regions of interest. Available for DNA, RNA, and methylation workflows, our bioinformatics team will help you design a panel tailored to your needs - created with the same double-stranded biotinylated probes that enable the exceptional performance of our fixed panels.

Twist Bioscience, the leader in synthetic DNA with unparalleled precision at scale, is redefining targeted sequencing performance with the Twist Human Core Exome Kit. This kit includes library preparation and enrichment components, allowing the flexibility to lower sequencing costs, increase sample throughput, and achieve a higher depth of coverage across target regions with uncompromising quality.

The Twist Human Comprehensive Exome Panel offers over 99% coverage of protein-coding genes, providing a solution for exome sequencing with high performance and flexibility.

Positive controls provide quality control measures for the verification and validation for point-of-care diagnostic tests including both next-generation sequencing (NGS) and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays. Twist offers fully synthetic SARS-CoV-2 RNA controls, available for dozens of distinct reference sequences.

The mouse is an extremely important model system for studying genetic variation, tumor mutations, and phenotypic outcomes as well as the therapeutic effect of pharmaceutical agents. As genetic variant databases are continuously updated, the Twist Mouse Exome panel is thoughtfully designed and built from the most current databases

The Twist Comprehensive Viral Research Panel covers reference sequences for 3,153 viruses, including 15,488 different strains.

Twist Library Preparation Enzymatic Fragmentation (EF) Kit 2.0 is built to help you achieve a more efficient sequencing pipeline and obtain more accurate Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) results. This updated kit has new fragmentation and ligation modules, and includes the Equinox Library Prep Amp Mix.
