Product Description
Confirming that a bisulfite reaction actually worked is far easier when a known reference travels alongside your samples. This fully methylated control DNA, offered in human and mouse versions, gives you a dependable benchmark for judging conversion efficiency, so unexpected results can be traced to the chemistry rather than to the biology of your samples.
This listing is for catalog number D5011: Universal Methylated Human DNA Standard. Each standard comes with a species-matched primer set designed to amplify a region of the control DNA after bisulfite treatment. Process the standard in parallel with experimental samples, then amplify it with the matching primers to verify the conversion step. Choose the human version for human studies or the mouse version for work in murine models. LIGHT LABS stocks the Zymo Research line, so kits, buffers and refills are always within reach.
Key Features
- Positive control – Provides methylated reference DNA to verify that bisulfite conversion performed as expected.
- Matched primer set – Primers are designed to amplify the control DNA after bisulfite treatment.
- Human or mouse – Available in two species formats to match your experimental model.
- Parallel processing – Runs alongside samples to monitor each conversion reaction.
