The EZ DNA Methylation-Startup™ Kit provides the necessary technologies required for complete bisulfite conversion of DNA for PCR and methylation analysis. This kit includes bisulfite conversion reagents that allow for direct sampling of blood, cells, and fresh or FFPE tissues without the prerequisite for upstream DNA purification (see EZ DNA Methylation-Direct™ Kit). A fully methylated Universal Methylated Human DNA Standard is provided together with a special primer set for PCR to control for and assess conversion efficiency. Finally, a unique ZymoTaq™ DNA Polymerase is included for robust amplification of bisulfite-treated DNA.
