Cleanup Conversion Reagent Instruction Notes
Multiline Text
Read Only
Default = Use the instructions in the Zymo EZ DNA Methylation Kit to do the following. Clean the samples using the provided spin columns or filter plate. Wash off the remaining conversion reagent. Centrifuge the plate at 3000–5000 × g. Desulphonate the column or the plate with desulphonation buffer. Incubate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Clean the samples and wash to remove the desulphonation buffer. Repeat one time. Add 12 µl elution buffer from 500 ng gDNA. Centrifuge to elute at 3000–5000 × g for 5 minutes
Denature DNA instruction Notes
