Porvair Sciences has introduced the first commercial ChIP kit range dedicated to Drosophila (fruit fly). Benefiting from proprietary bead-free ChIP technology, the kits deliver high-quality ChIP-ready chromatin from as little as 5 Drosophila specimens and from a range of Drosophila tissues.
The fruit fly (Drosophila) is a very widely used model organism for genetic and epigenetic research. However, until now, researchers have had few research protocols at their disposal.
The new single optimised Chromatrap kit features unique buffers and components for Drosophila chromatin extraction and ChIP. Incorporating correctly orientated capture proteins throughout the inert filter-based ChIP technology, the kits offer the level of sensitivity required for detection of binding of low abundant targets. Combined with benefits of bead-free ChIP assay technology, the kits is designed to offer Drosophila researchers an easy, sensitive workflow that can be completed in less than five hours.
The Chromatrap range now includes Drosophila UniqSeq, ChIP-Seq, Antibodies and Primer Sets.
