Table 1. Efficiency and consistency of the experiments performed in triplicate using two different amounts of initial DNA: 0.5ug and 1ug. DNA was isolated from fresh tissue (M38) cell lines (H1299) and fully methylated controls (C+) for the: MagMeDIP kit (Diagenode); Methylated-DNA IP Kit (Zymo Research); and MethylAmp™ Kit (Epigentek)

Figure 3. Reaction yield for different amounts of initial DNA, 0.5 μg and 1 μg of both, fresh tissue (T) and cell lines (C), for the: (A) MagMeDIP kit (Diagenode); (B) Methylated-DNA IP Kit (Zymo Research); and (C) Methylamp™ Kit (Epigentek).
