ChIP-Validated Antibodies
ChIP-validated antibodies further en-hance the high-performance application solutions that Chromatrap can provide researchers. The use of high-quality and (ChIP)-validated antibodies is essential for the success of a ChIP assay. The antibody must recognize and bind to native protein that is bound to DNA. Antibodies from other applications do not always work well in ChIP. These top-quality validated antibodies are now kits for ChIP assays of every type. kits for quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) or sequencing and has in its validated antibody program, which are H3, RNA pol II (S), RNA pol II (S5), H3K9me3, 5mC, AcH3, AcH4, AR, and Sin3a.
