Zymo Research Receives CE IVD Mark for its EZ DNA Methylation-Lightning Kit
PR91862
IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
-- Proven bisulfite technology ideal for clinical applications
Today Zymo Research announced its EZ DNA Methylation-Lightning Kit(TM)
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."
