Enables nucleic acids therapeutics research, which can include antisense oligonucleotide therapies, gene therapies and more

Twist Bioscience Corporation (NASDAQ: TWST), a mid-cap growth and value biotech company, today launched research-grade Plasmid DNA Preps designed to support the advancement of pharmaceutical and biotech customers’ pre-clinical studies.

“Our new plasmid preps combine the quality and consistency needed for preclinical research with the speed and cost efficiency customers have come to expect from Twist,” said Emily M. Leproust, CEO and co-founder of Twist Bioscience. “By offering animal origin-free and transfection-grade preps, customers can rely on Twist from the early research and discovery stage through preclinical development, streamlining their supply chains and eliminating the need to change suppliers as programs advance.”

With animal origin-free (AOF) and transfection-grade preps and target yield options, Twist can support the nucleic acid therapeutics discovery and development process by ensuring consistently manufactured DNA, aligning with customer specifications and reducing variability and risk in their discovery programs. Customers entering the preclinical phase often have specific quality requirements, such as animal origin-free, and low, or endotoxin-free, for DNA that will be transferred into delicate cells. To meet these standards, Twist offers low and endotoxin-free transfection grade preps, as well as AOF preps available with TSE and BSE certificates for verification of quality standards. In addition, customers can receive target yields for prep sizes 4ug to 10ug to ensure consistent and precise mass in every prep.
