Imprint® Ultra Chromatin Optimization Kit
Kit designed to optimize sonication parameters for ChIP experiments
Quality Level
200
The Imprint Ultra Chromatin Optimization Kit provides reagents needed to optimize chromatin sonication/shearing conditions before performing ChIP. It is imperative that chromatin is completely sheared into fragments with a peak around 500 base pairs (bp) for ChIP-qPCR assays, and < 500 bp for ChIP-Seq and ChIP-chip, for maximum specificity and resolution, and to ensure low background. For higher resolution applications like genome-wide location analysis by ChIP-chip or ChIP-Seq, sonication of input chromatin to below 500 bp, with a peak around 250 bp, is critical.
