Does anybody have experience with twist bioscience, their turn-around times and reliability?

15 August 2019 0 4K Report

I'm wondering if anybody has used them for gene fragment synthesis and combinatorial libraries. I've heard some bad things about them promising things they couldn't deliver and very slow turn-around.
