Flexible formats for your applications
Our Synthetic Controls are offered in three formats: Standard, Assay Ready, and Encapsulated for a range of molecular and diagnostic workflows. The Standard format provides high-concentration controls in a frozen liquid, while Assay Ready Controls are dried, single-use pellets that improve stability and allow ambient shipping with freezer storage. Encapsulated Controls further enhance stability by sealing a desiccated RNA pellet in a metal capsule, enabling room-temperature shipping and storage. Together, the Assay Ready and Encapsulated formats reduce cold-chain needs, lower shipping costs, and improve global accessibility.

What we offer
Our Synthetic Controls
Infectious disease
Mpox Virus Controls
Synthetic Controls | Infectious disease
Twist's Synthetic human Mpox Virus (hMPXV) Controls are based on sequences from either the Congo Basin (CB) or West African (WA) clades of hMPXV, formerly known as Monkeypox, and provide coverage of ≥80% of the viral genome.
Respiratory Virus Controls
Synthetic Controls | Infectious disease
The Twist Synthetic Respiratory Virus Controls cover a broad range of RNA and DNA viruses relevant to respiratory disease research. These controls are aligned with the content of the Twist Respiratory Virus Research Panel (PN 103067) and are suitable for use with Twist Fixed Panel NGS workflows or for use with RT-PCR or qPCR experiments of your own design.
