piTect Bisulfite Kits enable complete conversion of unmethylated cytosines to uracils and subsequent purification in 6 hours. The EpiTect 96 Bisulfite procedure takes less than 7 hours. The highly sensitive method utilizes innovative protection against DNA degradation that guarantees sensitive results, even from 1 ng DNA, and ensures high conversion rates of over 99%. Due to its unique DNA Protect technology, EpiTect Bisulfite converted DNA is highly suitable for whole bisulfitome amplification using EpiTect Whole Bisulfitome Kits. This enables reliable amplification of DNA in cases where bisulfite converted DNA is limited. EpiTect Bisulfite Kits include a spin-column or 96-well format procedure, and can be processed using a centrifuge or vacuum manifold. In addition, the EpiTect Bisulfite Kit can be fully automated on theQIAcube Connect.
Efficient High-Throughput Bisulfite ConversionHandle up to 96 samples simultaneously with the EpiTect 96 Bisulfite Kit's convenient 96-well plate format. This allows for increased sample throughput, consistency in DNA processing, and compatibility with both manual and automated platforms, making it ideal for modern, high-demand research laboratories.
Optimized for Accurate Methylation AnalysisAchieve reliable methylation profiling thanks to the kit's high bisulfite conversion efficiency (>99%) and minimized DNA degradation. The kit includes all necessary reagents and follows refined protocols, ensuring reproducible results for downstream applications such as PCR, NGS, and Sanger sequencing.
Complete Solution for DNA Methylation StudiesSupplied with all consumables and chemicals-buffers, bisulfite solution, DNA protect and desulfonation buffers, plates, and sealing films-this kit covers every step of bisulfite conversion from DNA extraction to sample prep for further analysis. It suits research laboratories focused on epigenetic studies and biomarker discovery.
