  -- Proven bisulfite technology ideal for clinical applications

Today Zymo Research announced its EZ DNA Methylation-Lightning Kit(TM)

(https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3299830-1&h=3487743476&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zymoresearch.com%2Fproducts%2Fez-dna-methylation-lightning-kit%3Futm_source%3DPR%2BNewswire%26utm_medium%3Dpress_release%26utm_campaign%3DLightning_CE_Press_Release_9.23.21&a=EZ+DNA+Methylation-Lightning+Kit) has received

the CE IVD Mark allowing the technology to be distributed within

the European Union (EU) common market. Chemical treatment of DNA with bisulfite

is the prerequisite for many methylation-based diagnostic assays. Clinical

diagnostic and screening tests, particularly those for cancer and developmental

diseases, are now utilizing methylation profiling of DNA to detect the presence

of disease and guide treatment.

The established, proven bisulfite-treatment chemistry from Zymo Research has

been highly successful with clinical samples due to its robust and efficient

(C)ytosine to (U)rasil conversion chemistry that also minimizes DNA

fragmentation and degradation during the process. Desulphonation and cleanup of

"converted DNA" are performed using a unique spin technology, allowing

ultra-low elution (10 microliter) volumes. The kit achieves the highest conversion

efficiencies for the most accurate downstream methylation analysis. The EZ DNA

Methylation-Lightning Kit features a ready-to-use conversion reagent, which

streamlines the workflow for completion in a little over an hour. The kit is

available in spin-column and high-throughput 96-well formats.

"The scientists at Zymo Research are always working to streamline and simplify

workflows for our customers. The EZ DNA Methylation-Lightning Kit is one

example of this philosophy," said Marc Van Eden, Zymo Research's Vice President

of Business Development. "The kit consolidates many of the labor-intensive

steps required for precise, complete bisulfite conversion of DNA making an

otherwise cumbersome workflow user-friendly and consistent time after time.

This is particularly critical for assay reproducibility in sensitive analytical

processes such as Next-Gen sequencing."
