• New Antibodies for 5-Formylcytosine & 5-Carboxylcytosine

  DNA methylation is an important part of mechanisms regulating genome accessibility and function, and Active Motif offers a number of kits and reagents to study the different forms of methylated DNA. In addition to 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine methylation, we now offer highly specific and well validated antibodies for the study of two novel forms of methylation, 5-formylcytosine and 5‑carboxylcytosine.

• EpiShear™ Sonication Products for Reproducible Shearing

  EpiShear™ sonication products were designed to ensure you get high-quality sheared chromatin or DNA every sample. The EpiShear Multi-Sample Sonicator is a high-intensity cup horn sonicator that can process up to 8 samples simultaneously, while the EpiShear Probe Sonicator provides you the flexibility to shear a larger range of sample sizes. It works well in conjunction with the EpiShear Cooled Sonication Platform, which improves sample-to-sample reproducibility by positioning the probe at the same depth in the sample every time.

• New Hydroxymethyl Collector™ Kit for Biotin-based 5-hmC Capture

  Active Motif continues to expand its portfolio of products to study 5-hydroxymethylcytosine. Our new Hydroxymethyl Collector™ Kit is able to chemically label 5-hmC residues for specific enrichment of DNA fragments containing 5-hydroxymethylcytosine. A biotin-streptavidin capture method is used to isolate the labeled 5-hmC residues. More >

• Validated qPCR Primer Sets for use as ChIP Controls

  Active Motif offers a large variety of human- and mouse-specific ChIP Control qPCR Primer Sets for many of the more common ChIP targets. These positive and negative controls have been validated and proven to work in both qPCR and endpoint PCR, and are used regularly by our Epigenetic Services division. More >

• MeDIP & hMeDIP Kits for Enrichment of 5-mC and 5-hmC DNA

  Active Motif offers its MeDIP Kit for the isolation of single-stranded DNA fragments that contain 5-methylcytosine (5-mC). It can be used alone, or in combination with our hMeDIP Kit, which specifically enriches for 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) DNA fragments. The hMeDIP Kit has the advantage that, unlike traditional MeDIP, it can also enrich for double-stranded DNA, which greatly simplifies downstream analysis. Methylated DNA Enrichment Overview >
