Cost efficient and great results
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Methylation status of pluripotent genes

"Following a thorough comparison of bisulfite converting kits, the Zymo research kit proved to be both efficient and cost-effective. Furthermore, the Bisulfite Primer Seeker aided in the creation of a primer tailored to the target. I had no trouble carrying out the experiment thanks to the clear instructions that came with the kits."

This works very well and we are very much satisfied with it. Exceptionally good
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Mouse embryonic development tissue

"This kit is very good for bisulphite sequencing and very are very much happy with its results. This is exclusively good as we have generated good amount of results. Accurate analysis help us to generate very good results. In my case I have used it for very tiny samples and it worked exceptionally good."

Impressive results and easy to use and worry free
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Primary cells and cell line

"I had used this back in India and the results are always consistent and reproducible. But never had a chance to test with primary and cell lines. But here I have tried on both and surprisingly the results are great and reproducible. I love it. It's amazingly simple and easy to use."

Best kit for bisulfite conversion of DNA
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Bisulfite conversion of cfDNA for deep sequencing

"Having tested different kits for the bisulfite conversion of DNA to study DNA methylation, I found this gave the highest yield and most reproducible result. This is the gold standard kit for this type of analysis in my diagnostic lab."

Great results
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Sex determination

"The product was amazing it guarantees success every time. All my reactions were successful I have had wonderful results with this kit. I am planning some new experiments on the same system because of my earlier results. As soon as I get my grant, I will order a new set of reagents from Zymo. Most importantly it was a very well-written protocol and straightforward to follow."

Reliable products with consistent results.
Rating: 4.3

  • Application Area:Bisulfite conversion of human DNA

"EZ DNA Methylation-Lightning™ Kit is the bisulfite conversion kit we have been using for years. It appeared that this is one of the kits producing pure converted DNA and would not affect downstream applications such as digital PCR which requires high purity of DNA. It is a bead-based method, which is much easier to use than others. We use it for different starting concentrations from 100 pg to 2000 ng. We get consistent results from this kit all the time."

Very easy to use with great results.
Rating: 4.7

  • Application Area:Epigenetics

"EZ DNA Methylation-Lightning Kit is friendly to user product and provides rapid and full DNA conversion for epigenetic applications. The conversion is done in ~1h; and in our hands the quality of conversion is the same as for Gold kit. Converted DNA is then easily purified and is ready for subsequent PCR. Contrary to other conversion kits (e.g. Gold or Direct), Lighting reagent is ready-to-use and does not require solubilization of the reagent in different buffers."

Amazing product!
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Analyze DNA methylation in cancer cells

"I have been using this kit for several years. All the reagents are included in the kit and ready-to use, which means the whole process can be done in two hours. The input DNA can go down to 100 pg, which is really important if my tissue samples are very limited. The output DNA is suitable for illumina DNA methylation array or next generation sequencing. The results are always reliable and reproducible."

Good results. High reproducibility. But low yield
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Analyze methylation specific PCR

"High reproducibility but low yield. In protocol, it's possible to convert 2ug of DNA but for high effectiveness, they recommend 500ng, which is not enough to check for one time MSP for the first time. "

Zymo kit is the top one in epigenetics research.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Cancer research and methylation status.

"Nothing can replace Zymo products and the accuracy that I am getting from using this kit. Cost wise and work time wise, Zymo is user friendly. Also if we face any issues, Zymo technical support and the complete manual with the troubleshooting help us to figure out the solution. When compared with some top brand company kits, Zymo never loses its own standard in methylation and other molecular research. Due to its uniqueness and result accuracy, it's always good to stand with Zymo products. I am even an active user of some more of their products like Direct-zol™ RNA MiniPrep and DNA Clean & Concentrator™, which are always excellent products for research use. In epigenetics, ZYMO IS THE BEST AND WILL BE THE BEST, which you can trust blindly. I always strongly recommend to my colleagues to go for Zymo products for epigenetics work. Zymo always holds its name "The Epigenetics Company". I have no negative comments or negative reviews for Zymo products. Until now, I have never contacted technical support of Zymo because I have never faced any big issue in working with Zymo kits. MiniPrep kit is extremely easy to use and time saving. Compared to other products it is cheaper and less time consuming. I have also had very good results isolating different RNA sizes compared to conventional methods with trizol and, importantly, I always got the best purity. The microelution was key here. Zymo products are more reliable and I never used any software until now so I can’t say anything much about that. Overall, Zymo products are user friendly, more reliable and worth spending money on than any other kits. Also, online chat technical support is more useful at timely situations. I depend on Zymo more for epigenetics work and epigenetics applications. Zymo is the only company which can reach the research standard."

Great product
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Bisulfite treatment for methylation sequencing

"The product is easy to use and the process does not take much time. The quality of the result product is satisfying"

Review date: 13 Jul 2016 | EZ DNA Methylation-Lightning™ Kit

The EZ DNA Methylation-Lightning™ Kit features rapid and reliable bisulfite treatment and conversion of DNA for methylation analysis.

Key to the fast workflow is the ready-to-use Lightning Conversion Reagent. No preparation is necessary, simply add this unique reagent to a DNA sample, wait about an hour, and let the reaction proceed to completion. DNA denaturation and bisulfite conversion processes are combined with added heat to facilitate rapid denaturation. Desulphonation and clean-up of the converted DNA is performed using a unique low-elution spin column. High yield, converted DNA is ideal for PCR, array, bisulfite and next generation sequencing, etc.
