EpiQuik Tissue Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation Kit (Enrichment of Methylated DNA from Tissue)

For enrichment and capture of methylated DNA from various mammalian tissues for microarray, PCR, or NGS applications

Product Description

The EpiQuik™ Tissue Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation (MDIP) Kit is a complete set of essential components which uses a proprietary and unique procedure/composition to enrich methylated DNA from various mammalian tissues. In the assay, an antibody specific to methyl cytosine is used to immunoprecipitate methylated genomic DNA. The immunoprecipitated methylated fractions can be then used for a standard DNA detection. The kit is suitable for combining the specificity of methylated DNA immunoprecipitation with qualitative and quantitative PCR, and southern blot as well as DNA microarray. The kit has the following advantages:

• Directly immunoprecipitate methylated fractions of DNA from tissue lysates.
• Highly efficient enrichment of methylated DNA: > 95%
• The fastest procedure available, which can be finished within 3 and a half hours.
• Strip microwell format makes the assay flexible: manual or high throughput.
• Columns for DNA purification are included: save time and reduce labor.
• Compatible with all DNA amplification-based approaches.
• Simple, reliable, and consistent assay conditions.

Principle & Procedure

The EpiQuik™ Tissue Methylated DNA Immunopricipitation (MeDIP) Kit contains all reagents required for carrying out a successful methylated DNA immunoprecipitation directly from mammalian tissues. Particularly, this kit includes a ChIP-grade 5-methylcytosine antibody and a negative control normal mouse IgG. DNA in the cells is extracted, sheared, and added into the microwell immobilized with the antibody. DNA is released from the antibody-DNA complex, and purified through the specifically designed Fast-Spin Column. Eluted DNA can be used for various down-stream applications.
