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 through the use of beads, in particular for first-time users.

All Chromatrap® products are manufactured at the Porvair Sciences biosciences facilities in North Wales and now sold worldwide.

If you would like to know how the Chromatrap® technology works, you can go online and visit their technology section. There are specific methods and descriptions along with diagrams.

The following is a list of what Chromatrap® has to offer:
  • It is easy to use containing asimple spin-column protocol with no fiddly wash steps
  • It has an unrivalled low background, theinert filter surface repels non-specific binding
  • It has a fast workflow, producinghigh-quality data in under 5 hours
  • There is no sample loss – the sample is captured and retained on the filter until elution
  • There is less manual handling which means less handling errors
  • High throughput capability process 96 samples in parallel on a single plate
According to Chromatrap®, it is best for sensitivity and creates correctly orientated proteins which ensure binding pockets are presented to the antibody-chromatin complex.

It also has an exceptional signal-to-noise inert filtration material coupled with superior orientation technology which ensures you enrich more of the chromatin you want without capturing the protein you don’t.

Furthermore, a high binding capacity of optimally orientated highly ordered protein arrangement throughout the filter provides a maximised surface area for binding.

If you want to know how Chromatrap® works in the laboratory, Chromatrap® and the team have created statistics between Chromatrap® vs competitors and Chromatrap® vs beads.

Compared to its competitors, Chromatrap® has up to 10x higher signal, and requires the lowest amount input material. It also produces thehighest DNA yield, has no non-specific binding and is the Best signal-to-noise of any ChIP kit.

On the other hand, compared to beads, Chromatrap® has the highest positive target enrichment, lowest negative target pull-down, the broadest dynamic range 50ng – 50µg, a shorter protocol, more straightforward process, and also no sample loss.

Chromatrap® is undoubtedly here to shake up the world of chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). The dedicated technical team continues to improve and innovate the technology and its protocols to ensure that researchers get the results they want, allowing them to focus on the more significant questions in epigenetics research.

Chromatrap® Offers Their ChIP-seq Range Including A Signature ChIP-seq Kit

Chromatrap® Offers their  ChIP-seq  range including a signature  ChIP-seq kit . The ChIP-seq range is so unique and vital because theChIP-seq kit is the best on the market right now for sensitive ChIP assays as it offers the correct protein orientation for capture. Chromatrap® have developed a bead-free technology to enable maximum capture of antibodies. It is well known that each antibody in our body fights against infections and supports our immune system. Therefore, compared to other bead-based systems which leaves the proteins scattered and unorganized, Chromatrap® have a bead-free ChIP seq kit that uses inert filter-based ChIP technology, and it orientates to capture the proteins allowing full access of antibodies to binding pockets of proteins. The  ChIP seq protocol  that the bead system follows is the best approach to take as it improves the chances significantly of capturing and ensures high sensitivity whichis extremely importan...

Chromatrap is Offering Drosophila Chip Kits to Researchers

Chromatrap® is offering Drosophila researchers the opportunity to quickly and efficiently perform ChIP from their favourite genetic model organism. According to the company, they state by combining optimized buffer chemistries for chromatin extraction and unique bead-free ChIP technology, and they have in turn produced a high sensitivity kit that is quicker and easier to use. It is the first dedicated ChIP-Seq and library preparation kit for Drosophila. The Chromatrap® kit allows you to perform ChIP and library preparation for next-generation sequencing sequentially. This kit contains all the reagents you need to efficiently extract chromatin from Drosophila tissues and obtain purified selectively enriched DNA to create high-quality complex libraries. It is the only kit that combines the highest sensitivity ChIP assay with library preparation for Drosophila, which means it is ready to sequence in less than 8 hours, and it is a superior bead-free system...

Chromatrap Provide a Wide Range of DNA Purification Methods and DNA Purification Kits

Chromatrap provides a wide range of  DNA purification methods  and DNA purification kits. According to Chromatrap, “Depending on your tissue or cell samples, you can use a chemical treatment, enzymatic digestion or mechanical disruption to lysate the DNA. Removing contaminants from the nucleic acids and using a suitable buffer solution to precipitate the samples will aid the purification of the DNA. ” Chromatrap recommend considering different criteria if you are trying to determine which purification method is the best for your DNA sample. The requirements could be anything from the source organism and starting material to the target nucleic acid, downstream application and, of course, the desired results. There are also several genomic and plasmid  DNA purification  products designed to make the isolation process less time-consuming. These are suitable for a wide array of routine molecular biology applications, including high throughput screening. Chroma...
