The increased sensitivity of this magnetic bead-based bisulfite conversion kit makes it possible to amplify bisulfite-converted DNA from as few as 10 cells or 50 pg DNA. These innovations have been coupled to a magnetic bead-based clean-up for high-throughput methylation analysis. Desulphonation and clean-up of the converted DNA is performed while bound to the MagBinding Beads. This magnetic bead based bisulfite conversion kit has been designed to minimize template degradation, loss of DNA during treatment and clean-up, and to provide complete conversion of unmethylated cytosines. Recovered DNA is ideal for downstream analyses, including PCR amplification, endonuclease digestion, sequencing, microarrays, etc.
HIGHLIGHTS:
High throughput, complete bisulfite conversion of DNA directly from blood, tissue, cells, FFPE and LCM-derived samples.
Compatible with small sample inputs  as few as 10 cells or 50 pg of DNA.
High throughput (96-well), automated desulphonation and recovery of bisulfite-treated DNA.
