Imprint^® Methylated DNA Quantification Kit

To measure global DNA methylation shifts from as low as 10 ng DNA

• Synonym(s): DNA Methylation Quantification, DNA methylation shift
• UNSPSC Code: 41116158
• NACRES: NA.54

Description

General description

Imprint™ Methylated DNA Quantification technology provides a rapid and reliable method to measure global DNA methylation shifts. The Imprint Methylated DNA Quantification Kit contains all reagents required to detect relative levels of methylated DNA. Up to 200 ng of purified DNA is bound to the wells of the assay strip. The methylated DNA is detected using the Capture and Detection antibodies, then quantified colorimetrically. The amount of methylated DNA present in the sample is proportional to the absorbance measured.

Application

Imprint^® Methylated DNA Quantification Kit has been used in global DNA methylation analysis.
