Chromatrap® Announces Their First-Ever Commercial ChIP Kit Dedicated to the Drosophila

Chromatrap® is delighted to allow Drosophila researchers to perform ChIP from their favourite genetic model organism. Chromatrap® found by combining their optimised buffer chemistries for chromatin extraction and unique bead-free ChIP technology, so in simple terms, they have created a high sensitivity kit that is quicker and easier to use. Drosophila research is prevalent in the field of genetic and epigenetic analysis, which is why Chromatrap® have created this kit to save researchers time and offer the best sensitivity on the market for processing Drosophila chromatin. It is optimised for chromatic extraction protocol, perfect for low samples (ChIP from as little as five drosophila specimens), best for sensitivity and achieves results in 5 hours. The first dedicated ChIP-Seq kit for Drosophila offers optimised protocols and buffer formulations for  Drosophila ChIP-Seq . This unique kit contains all the reagents and components required to extract chroma

Chromatrap® is Offering Researchers Worldwide a New Way of Performing ChIP

The main aim of Chromatrap® is to assist with the development of epigenetic research using its bead-free system. It involves the use of a Chromatrap filtration plate. According to  Chromatrap ®, the patented filter used in Chromatrap® was first noticed by academics at Essex University and then later developed and collaborated with Swansea University’s Medical School. The journey began with a kit designed for PCR analysis, and then the partnership inspired the development of a diverse product range offering a faster, easier and more sensitive method of chromatin immunoprecipitation. The  Chromatrap filtration  increases the surface area, in turn, maximising immunocapture of antibody-chromatin complexes from your samples. It is nothing like other bead-based kits suppliers such as Active Motif, Diagenode, Cell Signalling Technology, Abcam, Zymo Research and Epigentik. Chromatrap is a novel filter-based system that overcomes the challenges often encountered
