What’s your sample input and target situation?

Limited amounts of cells​

Low Cell ChIP Kit enables transcription factor ChIP in limited samples from cell sorting, or sample segmentation for multi-omics processing. To profile histone modifications, CUT&Tag-IT® Assay Kit generates results without a library prep step from as few as 5000 cells.​

Low abundance transcription factors​

ChIP-IT® High Sensitivity Kit is designed to enrich for low abundance transcription factors.​

One day protocol for ChIP​​

ChIP-IT® Express has the optimized streamlined workflow to get ChIP results in one day.​

No antibody exists for the target of interest​​

If ChIP-validated antibodies are not available for the target protein, the Tag-ChIP-IT® system works by creating an expression construct containing the protein of interest in-frame with a C-terminal AM-tag that is specifically designed for ChIP.​

Fomalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples​​

The ChIP-IT™ FFPE II Kit is specifically designed to work with chromatin prep kits for both difficult-to-extract and readily extractable formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples.​

Peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples

The ChIP-IT® PBMC Kit is optimized with buffers to lyse peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and deliver high quality ChIP data.
