Porvair
Filtration Group reports that considerable interest was shown in their novel
Chromatrap chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay technology recently
showcased at the Epigenetics Europe congress in Munich and the Epigenomics of
Common Diseases conference held at the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre in
Cambridge, UK.
The Porvair Chromatrap spin column approach offers significant advantages
compared to methods based on sepharose or magnetic beads, which involve many
steps of separation, pipetting and re-suspension. Independent tests with
Chromatrap demonstrate levels of DNA pull down up to 25 times higher than with
traditional bead based procedures, excellent DNA enrichment with
signal-to-noise ratios typically 2 to 3 times better than competing procedures
and top performance even with samples with as few as 15,000 cells per assay.
Kevin Quinlan, Business Development Manager for the Chromatrap technology
commented "Early adopters of ChromaTrap have been delighted at the
increased efficiency and precision they can routinely achieve compared to
traditional bead-based ChIP technologies". He added "Many of the
pharmaceutical, healthcare and academic researchers we met at the recent
congresses highlighted the need for a simpler technology to alleviate problems
experienced with current ChIP assays and consequently have committed to
evaluate Chromatrap technology".
