Built for More: Uniform Coverage, Higher Yields, and Confident Variant Characterization.
Twist TrueAmp Library Preparation delivers consistent, high quality libraries for NGS target enrichment workflows, especially with challenging low input samples. Powered by Twist’s TrueAmp polymerase and optimized for enzymatic fragmentation, this workflow delivers high conversion efficiency, low GC bias, and balanced coverage, supporting accurate variant characterization across challenging genomic regions.
Reliable Uniformity Across Challenging Genomic Regions
Improved coverage consistency reduces AT- and GC-related dropout, delivering better representation of difficult regions.
High Conversion Efficiency From Low Input and Degraded Samples
High library yields across low input, FFPE, and variable quality samples help preserve precious material by reducing the need for reruns.
High Fidelity Amplification for Confident Variant Detection
Twist TrueAmp polymerase minimizes amplification induced errors and bias, supporting accurate detection of low VAF variants.
