General

Up to 10,000 probes per panel, sold across six tiers (1–500, 501–1,000, 1,001–2,500, 2,501–5,000, 5,001–7,500, 7,501–10,000).

120 bp probes.

6 reactions per panel.

Up to 96 in a single order

BED files with target coordinates for us to design against or FASTA,TSV,TXT,CSV files with the probe sequences you wish to order.

3-column BED file: chromosome, start position, stop position for each variant/region of interest. Supports SNVs, small indels, CNVs, and exonic target regions.

Upload your own 120 bp probe sequences directly with probe headers.

1x or 2x tiling across regions of interest - 2x increases target coverage and probe complexity per region.

Upload "preserved" regions to force probe coverage over specific targets, bypassing the repeat filter for those regions.

hg38 and hg19

Next day shipping

The design pipeline runs a repeat-filter algorithm that screens out probes over repetitive regions, since those tend to perform poorly in capture.

Delivery Format

Panels ship in 0.5 mL Sarstedt, FluidX or Matrix (available through API).

Twist offers panel-designer and order APIs for LIMS integration, enabling touchless design-to-order for ordering at scale.
