Overview

The Infinium MethylationEPIC v2.0 kit is a genome-wide methylation analysis tool targeting ~930K unique methylation sites in the most biologically significant regions of the human methylome.

  • Quantitative interrogation of CpGs at single-nucleotide resolution, with accurate and precise methylation measurements independent of read depth

  • Primary analysis and quality control with the GenomeStudio Methylation Module

  • Updated content guided by expert evaluations of EPIC v1.0

Cost-effective analysis

Genome-wide coverage at a relative affordable cost enables scalable discovery of powerful biological insights into disease mechanisms.

Trusted by epigenetics researchers

Illumina methylation BeadChips have powered > 10 years of groundbreaking research, with most published epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) to date completed on MethylationEPIC or its predecessor. Harness methylation data in data repositories like the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) or The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

FFPE compatible

In addition to whole blood, Methylation EPICv2.0 is also compatible with FFPE sample types, enabling studies to be completed on large biorepositories of tumors.

Specifications

Required products

Requires purchase of a kit that matches the number of samples you run at a time. Please note that each kit is processed as a single batch and is not designed to be divided across multiple experiments. If you are processing several low-throughput batches, order multiple small kits. The kits contain all required reagents for performing methylation screening, except for the bisulfite conversion kits which should be purchased separately from Zymo Research.

FAQs

The Infinium Methylation EPIC v2.0 BeadChip Kit leverages powerful Infinium chemistry to detect cytosine methylation at CpG islands based on highly multiplexed genotyping of bisulfite-converted genomic DNA. Learn more about quantitative array-based methylation measurement.

This kit uses the Illumina Methylation Assay, a microarray technology that provides quantitative methylation measurement at the single-CpG-site level, powering research that examines the biological role of DNA methylation in normal and diseased cells. Learn more about the Illumina Methylation Assay.

The Infinium MethylationEPIC v2.0 BeadChip Kit contains 186K new probes that target known enhancers, super-enhancers, CTCF-binding sites, and open regions of chromatin associated with primary tumors identified by ATAC-Seq and ChIP-seq experiments. Learn about additional improvements in the Infinium MethylationEPIC v2.0 data sheet.

MethylationEPICv2.0 data analysis is supported by Illumina Software. While GenomeStudio Software enables straightforward quality control and continues to be used by core laboratories for basic quality control, third party Bioconductor packages offer the most functionality for downstream analysis. Many free packages in the R software framework enable normalization and differential analysis of methylation data. See more methylation array data analysis tips.

The Zymo EZ DNA Methylation Lightning Kit is the recommended bisulfite conversion kit for the Infinium workflow. Third party bisulfite conversion kits must be purchased separately. Learn more about validated bisulfite conversion kits for Infinium Methylation BeadChips.

The scan takes ~18–37 minutes per BeadChip.

Yes, the Infinium MethylationEPIC v1.0 and HumanMethylation450 BeadChip kits have been discontinued. The Infinium MethylationEPIC v2.0 Kit, built upon the same reliable Infinium chemistry foundation, offers enhanced, expert-selected content and is the recommended replacement for both kits.
