OVERVIEW

Twist’s Fast Hybridization and Wash Kit is a revolutionary new system with the flexibility to both save you time and improve the performance of your targeted sequencing efforts. It accommodates your samples, your schedule, and your performance needs: accelerate hybridization to as little as 15 minutes, or adjust the hybridization time to improve coverage for all targeted sequencing applications, including whole exome, custom panels, spike-ins, or multiplex enrichment. 

Engineered specifically for NGS library amplification (pre- and post-capture), Twist TrueAmp Polymerase Mix delivers uniform coverage across challenging GC extremes, high sensitivity from low input, and automation-ready hot-start control—all in a simple 2× mastermix.  This leads to unbiased, high-fidelity results and reliable performance from challenging samples with a simplified and scalable workflow.

Dramatic Time Savings
Dramatic Time Savings
Hybridization in as little as 15 minutes
Streamlined, automatable workflow can be completed in 5–8 hours, including library preparation
Sample to sequencer in a single day
Unmatched Flexibility
Optimum Coverage and Unmatched Flexibility
Delivers excellent uniformity and increased on-target rates
Hybridization times can be adjusted to optimize performance
Fully automatable
sequencing
TrueAmp Polymerase Optimization
Amplify without bias across 5%–95% GC to maintain visibility of difficult targets.
Consistent high yields from complex libraries—even at ≤100 pg DNA input
Call variants with confidence via improved fidelity and reduced homopolymer slippage.
Scale with ease using an aptamer-enabled hot-start; inhibits both polymerase and exonuclease activity at room temperature for on-deck stability.
Streamline workflows with a single-tube 2× mastermix, validated with Twist library prep and target enrichment reagents.

Balance Workflow and Performance Needs with Maximum Confidence

As demonstrated with the Twist Human Core Exome Kit:

  • The 15-minute hybridization yields the same excellent performance (depth of coverage) previously achieved with overnight hybridization
  • Longer 1–4 hour hybridizations in the Twist Fast Hybridization Solution improve performance
  • Can also be used in workflows that require an overnight hybridization *

This allows you to adjust the hybridization time as needed to balance your workflow and performance needs.

*Our standard hybridization solution is also still available as a component of the Twist Hybridization and Wash Kit (101025 or 101026).
