SAN DIEGO, March 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telesis Bio Inc. (NASDAQ: TBIO), a leader in automated multi-omic and synthetic biology solutions, today announced continued expansion of the BioXp® Select Kit product line, releasing two novel kits to enable DNA amplification and scale-up.

The BioXp® Select DNA Cloning and Amplification Kit and the BioXp® Select Plasmid Amplification Kit enable on-demand and automated synthesis and amplification of transfection-scale DNA beginning from the customers own DNA fragments or plasmid DNA, overnight and at the push of a button. This is expected to enable researchers to optimize their discovery workflows by reducing the time and steps for cloning and scale-up of DNA required for their testing and analysis.

“Common to many workflows is the need to scale DNA constructs to transfection-scale quantities. The BioXp® System enables one to automate cell-free DNA amplification and scale-up, reducing time and eliminating manual bacterial steps. We believe this can accelerate discovery, particularly in the areas of screening large number of lead candidates in antibody discovery, cellular immunotherapy, and protein engineering,” said Daniel Gibson, Ph.D., CTO and Co-founder of Telesis Bio.

“These releases represent our commitment to open our platform and provide scientists the flexibility to adapt the BioXp® System to their process and begin with their own materials. We believe that enabling scientists to begin the cloning, amplification, and mRNA synthesis process from their own linear DNA or plasmid DNA will empower them to advance their research and accelerate their discoveries. Throughout 2023, we plan to release additional BioXp® kits that enable cloning and DNA amplification, as well as to automate NGS Library Preparation and CRISPR gRNA synthesis,” said Todd R. Nelson, Ph.D., CEO and Founder of Telesis Bio.
