Methylamp-96 DNA Bisulfite Modification Kit

Product Description

• The fastest procedure available, which can be finished within 2 hours and 30 min
• High throughput is achievable along with a 96-well filter format
• Completely converts unmethylated cytosine into uracil - modified DNA > 99.98%
• The lowest degradation of DNA in the modification process - more than 90% of DNA loss can be prevented
• The lowest requirement of starting DNA for modification - only 1 ng
• Simple, reliable, and consistent modification conditions

The Methylamp-96 DNA Modification Kit contains a complete set of essential components enabling efficient bisulfite-based DNA modification. The entire procedure can be completed within 2 hours and 30 minutes and produces far superior results than any other commercially available kits. The resulting modified DNA is suitable for MS-PCR, real time MS-PCR, methylation sequencing, and pyrosequencing, as well as methylation microarray analysis.

Principle & Procedure

The Methylamp™ 96 DNA Modification Kit contains all reagents required for bisulfite conversion on a DNA sample. DNA is denatured by heating, which allows DNA denaturation and bisulfite modification to be carried out simultaneously. In the modification process, bisulfite reagent reacts specifically with single-stranded DNA, thereby deaminating cytosine and creating a uracil residue. The unique DNA protection reagents contained in the modification buffer can prevent the chemical and thermophilic degradation of DNA in the bisulfite treatment. The non-toxic modified DNA capture buffer enables DNA to tightly bind to the column filter, thus DNA cleaning can be carried out on the column to effectively remove residual sodium bisulfite and salts. Modified DNA then can be eluted and stably stored at -20°C for up to 2 months.
