An automated high throughput solution for DNA extraction and bisulfite-conversion from high volume liquid biopsy specimens – sample preparation for epigenetic analysis
Abstract:Objective: DNA methylation analysis via real-time PCR or other analytical techniques requires purified bisulfite converted DNA. We report on an automated high throughput solution for DNA extraction, bisulfite-conversion, and purification of 96 samples with an input volume of up to 3.5mL of plasma or urine, using reagents from the commercially available Epi BisKit. Results: Magnetic bead-based DNA extraction, bisulfite conversion at high temperature, and efficient DNA purification was conducted on a customized … Show more
