ChIP-IT™ Express Kits

magnetic beads make ChIP fast, easy & more reproducible

 

ChIP-IT™ Express Kits use protein G-coated magnetic beads instead of traditional agarose beads, making it possible to perform ChIP in just 1 day.  The result is that ChIP-IT Express makes ChIP more successful while greatly reducing your time and effort.

  • Faster, more reproducible protocol
  • Choice of enzymatic or sonication methods for shearing of chromatin
  • Variety of control ChIP kits available for your model organism
  • Ready to ChIP chromatin available
 

Flexible ordering options

The ChIP-IT Express and ChIP-IT Express Enzymatic Kits include Protein G Magnetic Beads and the shearing components found in the ChIP-IT Shearing or Enzymatic Shearing Kits, respectively. However, depending on how many ChIPs you perform with each sample of sheared chromatin, you may run out of shearing components before using up all of the immunoprecipitation components in the ChIP-IT Express Kits. For this reason, the ChIP-IT Sonication & Enzymatic Shearing Kits and Protein G Magnetic Beads are also sold separately.

ChIP-IT Express Kits provide sufficient components to perform 25 ChIP reactions. Sufficient shearing components are included to optimize shearing conditions and then make 5 preparations of sheared chromatin from three 15 cm plates (4.5 x 107 cells); each of these chromatin preparations yield enough material to perform approximately 16 ChIP reactions. We recommend that you also purchase whichever ChIP-IT Control Kit is appropriate for your sample type, as using proven controls helps in troubleshooting, interpreting your results and validating antibodies for use in ChIP.
