Validated Methylated Analysis Primer Set

The nature of methylation analysis is that methylated and unmethylated DNA molecules will be amplified with greatly differing efficiencies. This is due to secondary structure formation (primer loops and dimers, template loops, mispriming) and long strings of T’s and G’s and C/T variation at CpG sites. Primers situated on CpG sites can selectively amplify either the methylated or unmethylated fragment, possibly producing bias in the final methylation analysis.

Product Content:
• DNA Methylation Assay Kits for 100 Reactions
• Ready for PCR amplification of bisulfite converted DNA with high efficiency

We validate the assay conditions using quantitative Pyrosequencing methylation technology to ensure methylated and unmethylated DNA are amplified at the same efficiency. We provide complete primer sets and assay conditions to our customers, optimized for bisulfite sequencing and other DNA methylation applications such as COBRA and HRM real-time PCR.
