Product Description
Quantifying 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine is only meaningful when your reference material reflects real biology. This set of human tissue DNAs from one donor carries natural levels of both marks, giving you a biologically relevant benchmark for testing detection methods and comparing tissues without donor-to-donor variability.
This listing is for catalog number D5018: Human Matched DNA Set. The set contains organ-specific genomic DNAs, including brain and spleen, all originating from a single individual. Levels of 5-mC and 5-hmC in the DNAs have been measured by LC/MS, so you can compare assay readouts against independently determined values. Each tissue DNA is supplied at 5 µg and can be ordered as part of the set or individually. Order it from LIGHT LABS and keep your workflow moving.
Key Features
- Single donor – All tissue DNAs derive from one individual, removing donor variability.
- Physiological modification levels – Contains 5-mC and 5-hmC at naturally occurring levels and loci.
- LC/MS quantified – Modification levels have been measured by mass spectrometry.
- Tissue variety – Includes organ-specific DNAs such as brain and spleen.
- Flexible ordering – Tissue DNAs are also available individually at 5 µg each.
