The EpiQuik™ Plant ChIP Kit is a convenient package of tools that allows the experimenter to investigate protein-DNA interaction in vivo efficiently. The entire procedure can be completed within 6 hours and produces far superior results than any competitor kits. The EpiQuik™ Plant 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™ PLANT ChIP KIT?

• The fastest procedure available, which can be finished within 6 hours.
• Strip microwell 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™ Plant ChIP Kit contains all reagents required for carrying out a successful chromatin immunoprecipitation from plant cells. Particularly, this kit includes a ChIP-grade dimethyl-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 protein-DNA complex, reversed and purified through the specifically designed Fast-Spin Column. Eluted DNA can be used for various down-stream applications.

SCHEMATIC PROCEDURE:
	DNA was immunoprecipitated from 2-week-old icu2-1/icu2-1 seedlings. PCR was used to amplify the ORNITHINE TRANSCARBAMILASE (OTC) gene and regions of the AGAMOUS gene.
