Chromatrap FFPE ChIP-Seq Kit

May 03, 2017

Chromatrap has launched an updated version of its FFPE ChIP-seq kit to extract chromatin from formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue. The new version has a shorter protocol, offers increased chromatin yield/accessible epitopes, and provides greater flexibility in chromatin sample loading for ChIP. The kit contains sufficient Protein A or Protein G based spin-columns, buffers, and reagents to perform 24 chromatin immunoprecipitation assays and up to 10 chromatin preparations. It is also compatible with both qPCR and sequencing as a downstream process.
