The EpiQuik™ Methyl-Histone H3-K9 ChIP Kit is a convenient package of tools that allows the experimenter to investigate interactions of histone H3-K9 methylation and DNA in vivo efficiently. The entire procedure can be completed within 5 hours and produces far superior results than any competitor kits. The EpiQuik™ Methyl-Histone H3-K9 ChIP Kit is suitable for combining the specificity of immunoprecipitation with qualitative and quantitative PCR, MS-PCR, DNA sequencing, and southern blot, as well as DNA microarray.

WHY CHOOSE THE EPIQUIK™ METHYL-HISTONE H3-K9 ChIP KIT?

• The fastest procedure available, which can be finished within 5 hours.
• Strip microplate format makes the assay flexible: manual or high throughput.
• Columns for DNA purification are included: save time and reduce labor.
• Compatible with all DNA amplification-based approaches.
• Simple, reliable, and consistent assay conditions.

The EpiQuik™ Methyl-Histone H3-K9 ChIP Kit contains all reagents required for carrying out a successful chromatin immunoprecipitation for methyl-histone H3-K9 from mammalian cells. Particularly, this kit includes a ChIP-grade methyl-histone H3-K9 antibody and a negative control normal mouse IgG. Chromatin from the cells is extracted, sheared, and added into the microwell immobilized with the antibody. DNA is released from the antibody-captured methyl-histone H3-K9 protein-DNA complex, reversed and purified through the specifically designed Fast-Spin Column. Eluted DNA can be used for various down-stream applications.
