Low bias, high fidelity amplification built for NGS Workflows.
Engineered for NGS library amplification, Twist TrueAmp Polymerase delivers uniform coverage across GC extremes, high sensitivity from low inputs, and automation ready hot start performance.
Engineered amplification that preserves library complexity.
Many PCR enzymes are optimized for single-amplicon tasks (qPCR, cloning) rather than complex NGS libraries.
TrueAmp changes the approach
An engineered proofreading, high-processivity DNA polymerase that delivers best-in-class GC uniformity, yield, and fidelity for library amplification.
The result
Fewer biases toward short, GC-neutral molecules and more usable data per run.
Key features include
- Single-tube 2× mastermix simplifies setup and reduces handling errors
- Compatible with pre-capture and post-capture amplification
- Designed for same-day or overnight hybridization workflows alongside Twist TE kits
- Validated with Twist library prep & enrichment reagents to maintain end-to-end performance consistency

TrueAmp sustains coverage where others drop out, improving sequencing economics and preserving difficult targets.
Figure 1: GC-normalized coverage; AT-rich C. difficile and GC-rich B. pertussis.
With improved efficiency, TrueAmp can hit yield targets in fewer cycles, limiting cycle-induced artifacts. It remains robust for low yield libraries typical of post capture PCR.
Figure 2: serial dilutions from 1 ng to 100 fg, Qubit and TapeStation QC.
An engineered proofreading polymerase reduces C→T misincorporations often caused by cytosine deamination and limits slippage across long homopolymers—critical for sensitive variant detection.
Figure 3: substitution rates after >7M base incorporations; homopolymer readout using Twist clonal plasmids.
Magnetic beads are widely used for purification and size selection but can inhibit PCR and lower yields. As shown in Figure 4, Twist TrueAmp Polymerase Mix maintains higher sequencing read counts than other polymerases across increasing bead concentrations (6.25–50 μl). This strong bead tolerance simplifies workflows, reduces rework, and ensures consistent data quality.

Liquid biopsy enables minimally invasive detection of biomarkers, such as cfDNA and RNA, from blood, plasma, or urine. When combined with NGS, it delivers highly sensitive insight into disease progression from limited, fragmented samples.
Advances in library prep continue to expand detectable biomarkers. TrueAmp Polymerase drives robust yield, low-bias amplification, and high fidelity for low-input cfDNA inputs, helping maximize usable data for these workflows.
