The EpiQuik™ Global Acetyl Histone H3-K18 Quantification Kit (Colorimetric) is a convenient package of tools that allows the experimenter to measure global acetylation of histone H3-K18 at tremendously fast speeds and consistency, superior and safer than all other current methods. The kit is ready-to-use and provides all the essential components needed to carry out a successful assay experiment. The EpiQuik™ Global Acetyl Histone H3-K18 Quantification Kit (Colorimetric) is suitable for specifically measuring global histone H3-K18 acetylation using a variety of mammalian cells (human, mouse, etc.) including fresh and frozen tissues, and cultured adherent and suspension cells.

WHY CHOOSE THE EPIQUIK™ GLOBAL ACETYL HISTONE H3-K18 QUANTIFICATION KIT (COLORIMETRIC)?

• Quick and efficient procedure, which can be finished within 2.5 hours.
• Innovative colorimetric assay without the need for radioactivity, electrophoresis, or chromatography.
• Specifically captures acetyl H3-K18 with the detection limit as low as 2 ng/well and detection range from 20 ng-5 µg/well of histone extracts.
• The control is conveniently included for the quantification of the amount of acetyl H3-K18.
• Strip microplate format makes the assay flexible: manual or high throughput.
• Simple, reliable, and consistent assay conditions.

The EpiQuik™ Global Acetyl Histone H3-K18 Quantification Kit (Colorimetric) is designed for measuring global histone H3-K18 acetylation. In an assay with this kit, the acetyl histone H3 at lysine 18 is captured to the strip wells coated with an anti-acetyl H3-K18 antibody. The captured acetyl histone H3-K18 can then be detected with a labeled detection antibody, followed by a color development reagent. The ratio of acetyl H3-K18 is proportional to the intensity of absorbance. The absolute amount of acetyl H3-K18 can be quantified by comparing to the standard control.
