Leptin is synthesized in adipocytes as a 16kD molecule and the circulating level is directly proportional to the total amount of fat in the body.

Peptide YY (PYY), a novel 36 amino-acid amidated hormone is a component of the complex neuroendocrine control process.

Insulin, a 5.8 kDa hormone is secreted by the islet beta cells in the pancreas. This kit offers sensitive assay for rat/mouse insulin

Dextran Sulfate (MW 500,000) is used as an additive in probe hybridization solutions. Its presence accelerates the rate of hybridization by 10 fold. The addition of Dextran Sulfate favors the formation of probe networks, resulting in greater sensitivity during membrane-bound nucleic acid analysis. The product is supplied as a 50% (w/v) solution.

Hybrisol® Hybridization Solutions are pre-made, ready-to-use solutions optimized for sensitive single and multiple gene copy detection using membrane-based hybridization techniques. They are designed to give maximum signal and clean background for hybridizations performed on nylon and nitrocellulose membranes. Hybrisol® Solution contains 10% Dextran Sulfate, 1% SDS, 50% Formamide, 6X SSC, Sheared DNA, and Modified Denhardt's S…

The CpG WIZ® p16 Amplification Kit is used for determining the methylation status of the p16 promoter by methylation-specific PCR (MSP). The kit contains primers targeted to regions of the promoter where the sequences are most divergent after bisulfite treatment. PCR parameters have been identified such that all primer sets in the kit amplify under the same conditions. Control genomic DNA samples (methylated and unmethylated)…

The CpG WIZ® p15 Amplification Kit is used for determining the methylation status of the p15 promoter by methylation-specific PCR (MSP). The kit contains primers targeted to regions of the p15 promoter where the sequences are most divergent after bisulfite treatment. PCR parameters have been identified so that all primer sets in the kit amplify template under the same conditions. Control genomic DNA samples (methylated and unm…

The CpG WIZ® E-cahedrin Amplification Kit is used for determining the methylation of status of the E-cadherin promoter by methylation-specific PCR (MSP). The kit contains primers targeted to regions of the promoter where the sequences are most divergent after bisulfite treatment. PCR parameters have been identified so that all primer sets in the kit amplify under the same conditions. Control genomic DNA samples (methylated and…

The CpG WIZ® Prader-Willi/Angelman Amplification Kit is used for determining the methylation status of this region by methylation -specific PCR (MSP). The kit contains primers targeted to the CpG island on the SNRPN gene. PCR parameters have been identified such that both primer sets in the kit amplify template under the same conditions. Normal control genomic DNA, which will generate a product with both primer sets, is also i…

The CpGenome™ DNA Modification Kit is used to create methylation-specific sequence alterations in any DNA sample. Using chemical treatment, the kit converts all unmethylated cytosine residues to uracil. Methylated cytosine residues are unaltered in this process. Therefore, the chemically-treated DNA sequence will differ only if it was originally unmethylated in vivo. After sequence conversion, methylation specific PCR is emplo…

CpGenome™ Universal Methylated DNA is enzymatically methylated human male genomic DNA. This product is intended for use with the CpGenome™ DNA Modification Kit (S7820) or with amplification primers. It can be used as a methylation-positive control for gene methylation studies.

CpGenome™ Universal Unmethylated DNA Set provides 2 separate genomic DNA controls for gene methylation studies. This product is intended for use with the CpGenome™ DNA Modification Kit (S7820) and can be subsequently used as an unmethylated DNA control for gene methylation studies.

The CpGenome™ Fast DNA Modification Kit contains the reagents for the initial bisulfite modification of the DNA required for both methodologies.

The CpGenome™ DNA Modification Kit (Cat. No. S7820) contains the reagents necessary to perform the initial bisulfite reactions, while the CpG WIZ® BRCA1 Amplification Kit contains the reagents required for the PCR amplification reactions.
