Infinium MethylationEPIC v2.0 BeadChip

18 Mar 2026

In this data sheet, Illumina introduces the Infinium MethylationEPIC v2.0 BeadChip, a microarray-based solution designed to measure DNA methylation across the genome for epigenetics research. Building on the proven Infinium chemistry used in earlier arrays such as the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip and Infinium MethylationEPIC v1.0 BeadChip, the updated BeadChip provides enhanced, expert-selected content to support epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) and biomarker discovery. Illumina highlights its applications in fields including cancer research, genetic disease studies, aging, and molecular epidemiology, enabling deeper insights into epigenetic mechanisms and disease biology.

Next Generation SequencingNext-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as whole-genome sequencing, high-throughput sequencing and massive parallel sequencing, produces and analyses thousands to millions of nucleotide sequences at once. Sequencing systems operate via varying technologies depending on the manufacturer, including sequencing by synthesis, ligation, pyrosequencing, ion semiconductor and single-molecule real-time sequencing. For NGS, library preparation is paramount to successful sequencing. In this section, explore a range of library preparation kits, from targeted, amplicon-based or hybridization-based kits including epigenomic, transcriptomic and genomic workflows to fragmentation kits.
