Irvine, Calif.-based Zymo Research’s EZ DNA Methylation-Lightning kit has received a CE in vitro diagnostics mark certification.

The kit chemically treats DNA to prepare it for analysis by methylation-based diagnostic assays, which are used in clinical diagnostic and screening tests, particularly those for cancer and developmental diseases.

The EZ DNA kit uses a chemical technique that minimizes DNA fragmentation and degradation. And cleanup of the "converted DNA" is performed using spin technology, allowing very low use of solvent in the process.
