Great service
Application Area: NGS
"I have personally used their products like DNA/RNA prep, PCR clean-up, inhibitors removal, bisulfite conversion, methylation based library prep kits. The process was ease to handle, short processing time, felt bit costly but worth spending for the better end results."

Consistently excellent results.
Application Area:Analyze DNA methylation in a locus-specific manner
"This product is so easy to use and gives consistently great results. Conversion efficiency is always high, and the yield is very good. We use this kit for locus-specific bisulfite sequencing and for high resolution melt curve analysis, and it works great for both applications. We would never use another kit!"

First choice for kits in bisulfite conversion!
Application Area:Analyzing DNA methylation in cartilage samples with pyrosequencing
"Bisulfite conversion is a very delicate process. This kit provided me with high quality bisulfite DNA that I was able to use for further analysis with pyrosequencing. However when one of the orders was taking quite a long time, we contacted the distributor in the Netherlands, BaseClear. The customer support was not that great with the communication cut short and not that friendly voices on the other line. Other than that, a great product."

The kit is easy to use! Well written manual.
Application Area:Running methylation microarrays
"The Zymo Research's EZ DNA Methylation Kits (part D5002 and D5004) are relatively easy to use. The instruction manuals are detailed with a quick background of the methodology, a list of the consumables, reagent preparation, protocol, and optimization tips. The instructions weren't bogged down by extraneous details, but enough information for a quick overview and usage instructions. I started off using the spin-column kits of D5002, but I realized that when processing 32 samples at a time, using individual tubes was not optimal for my time. I would recommend this kit if you just have a few reactions to run at a time. I progressed to the 2x96 reaction kit of D5004. I was happy I could use the multichannel pipettes for streamlining my work process. I contacted Zymo's tech support for suggestions from using kits D5002 and D5004; they were very helpful in my transition between the two kits. In both cases, my methylated products produced robust and consistent results in my microarray experiments."

Great and reliable conversions.
Application Area:DNA methylation measurements in genomic DNA
"The EZ DNA methylation kit, despite all the new iterations also available from Zymo, is still our go-to kit for large projects. Input DNA needs to be of high quality but if so the kit reliably gives full bisulfite conversions, and we have done thousands of conversions to date. Recommend. "

Great results. This is the first and foremost step we do. Thoroughly satisfied!
Application Area:Blood samples
"It's an excellent product. We use it for converting our DNA extracted from blood samples to study epigenetics. The only tedious work is inverting the samples several times. Otherwise the product is very good in yielding high quality bisulfite converted products"
The EZ DNA Methylation™ Kit features a simplified procedure that streamlines bisulfite treatment of DNA.
The kit is based on the three-step reaction that takes place between cytosine and sodium bisulfite where cytosine is converted into uracil. The product's innovative in-column desulphonation technologies eliminate otherwise cumbersome precipitations. The kit is designed to reduce template degradation, minimize DNA loss during treatment and cleanup, while ensuring complete conversion of the DNA. Purified, converted DNA is ideal for PCR amplification for downstream analyses including endonuclease digestion, sequencing, microarrays, etc. This kit is validated for use with Illumina's GoldenGate® and Infinium® Assays.
