EpiSeeker Sample Preparation Guide

Get the right input for the perfect output

EpiSeeker Sample Preparation kits are the first step to your successful experiment.

More often than not, your starting material is the key to a good result: if you have a good sample to analyze, you know your experiment is likely to succeed.

So why risk your experiment using sub-optimal techniques to obtain your sample? Our new range of sample preparation kits has been optimized to be used with our EpiSeeker range of Epigenetic kits, making sure you start your analysis with the optimal preparation.

 

Which product to use?

It can be difficult sometimes to know which product is more suitable for your experiment.

The table below gives a summary of the characteristics of the kits available for sample preparation and for which application is most suitable.
