Case Study: Arzeda boosts DNA assembly speed and accuracy with Twist Bioscience

Arzeda boosts DNA assembly 10x in 2 weeks with Twist Bioscience

Arzeda, a company that designs novel proteins, faced a bottleneck in constructing plasmids. Their process for assembling DNA fragments was slow, error-prone, and resource-intensive. To scale their synthetic biology workflow, they turned to vendors including Twist Bioscience for high-quality synthetic DNA fragments.

The solution integrated Twist Bioscience’s DNA with software from TeselaGen and liquid handling from Labcyte. Twist Bioscience provided accurate DNA in plates compatible with the automated system, enabling a seamless, turnkey workflow. This allowed Arzeda to increase the number of enzymes built and tested by approximately 10x, cut assembly time significantly, and reduce costs, all while implementing the platform in just weeks.
