Magnetic Beads Make Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Faster and Easier
Abstract
Active Motif's ChIP-IT™ Express Kits use protein G-coated magnetic beads instead of the traditionally used agarose beads to make chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) faster and better than ever before. The use of magnetic beads has made it possible to simplify and streamline the ChIP protocol, optimize buffers and reduce or eliminate a number of time- and labor-intensive steps. ChIP-IT Express Kits also improve the consistency of your ChIP experiments by reducing background. The result is that ChIP-IT Express makes your ChIP experiments more successful while greatly reducing your time and effort
