This document provides instructions for resuspending many of Twist’s synthetic biology products, including Clonal Genes, Gene Fragments, Gene Pools, Oligo Pools, and Variant Libraries.

DNA Resuspension and Storage Protocols 

Twist Bioscience ships its DNA products dried down or resuspended in 2 mL microcentrifuge tubes, 96-well plates, or 384-well plates. Dried DNA is shipped at ambient temperature and resuspended DNA is shipped frozen.

Double-stranded DNA and single-stranded oligonucleotides are stable under most standard laboratory storage conditions. However, it is important to consider the following best practices to maintain the high quality of the DNA synthesized by Twist Bioscience.
