Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Kits
Diagenode offers a wide range of kits for Chromatin Immunoprecipitation, a method used to determine the location of DNA binding sites on the genome for a particular protein of interest. The ChIP assay offers great potential to improve knowledge about the regulation of gene expression. This technique is now used in a variety of life science disciplines including cellular differentiation, tumor suppressor gene silencing, and the effect of histone modifications on gene expression.

Manual Kits for Chromatin Immunoprecipitation
True MicroChIP kit
- Revolutionary: Highly efficient ChIP recovery and enrichment from only 10,000 cells
- Reliable and accurate sequencing library preparation from just picogram inputs
- Validated on studies for histone marks
A: ChIP has been peformed with H3K4me3 antibody, amplification of 17 pg of DNA ChIP'd from 10.000 cells and amplification of 35 pg of DNA ChIP'd from 100.000 cells (control experiment). The IP'd DNA was amplified and transformed into a sequencing-ready preparation for the Illumina plateform with the MicroPlex Library Preparation kit. The library was then analysed on an Illumina® Genome Analyzer. Cluster generation and sequencing were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
B: We observed a perfect match between the top 40% of True MicroChIP peaks and the reference dataset. Based on the NIH Encode project criterion, ChIP-seq results are considered reproducible between an original and reproduced dataset if the top 40% of peaks have at least an 80% overlap ratio with the compared dataset.
iDeal ChIP-seq kit
- Validated: Only kit on the market validated for GAIIx (Illumina®) and PGM™ (Ion Torrent™)
- Proven: Our expertise with ChIP-seq tools enables reproducible and efficient results every time

Fig. A shows a several hundred bp stretch along the 12th chromosome, where the high similarity of read distribution can be observed, despite the radically different characteristics of the sequencers. ChIP was performed on chromatin from HelaS3 cells using 1 µg of H3K4me3 antibody.
Fig. B is a close capture focusing on the well-known GAPDH gene. The detailed view reveals that even the peak structure is similar.

LowCell# ChIP kit allows for ChIP with 1,000 to 1,000,000 cells per IP. Diagenode antibody directed against H3K4me3 and an optimized qPCR primer pair to amplify a region of the c-fos promoter were used. ChIP has been performed using 1,000, 10,000, 100,000 NCCIT cells and 1 million U20S cells. 1 µg of antibody was used per ChIP experiment. A negative control antibody was included in the ChIP assay (1µg/IP).
HighCell# ChIP kit
Perform ChIP with up to 10 million cells per IP. Recover more DNA and limit bias of downstream applications.
- Use from 1,000,000 - 10,000,000 cells per IP
- Recover large amounts of DNA
- Limit bias of possible downstream amplification steps (e.g. prior to next generation sequencing)
- Ideal for ChIP of low abundant proteins
- Improved handling and reproducibility due to magnetic beads and a uniquely designed magnetic rack (DiaMag1.5)
HighCell# ChIP kit permits high recovery of DNA with Pol II antibody and 5 million U20S. 6.5 µl of the Poll antibody has been used per IP. C-fos has been used as positive locus and myoglobin exon 2 as negative locus. The DNA recovered after ChIP was 170 ng per IP.
Transcription ChIP kit
Complete solution for ChIP on transcription factors.
- Complete kit with all the reagents for your ChIP needs (shearing buffers, control, primer pairs)
- Includes Control antibody directed against TBP (TATA binding protein)
- Standard method: 3 days from cell collection to PCR results
- Immunoprecipitation using agarose beads
ChIP results obtained with the Diagenode Transcription ChIP kit including the TBP antibody. ChIP assays were performed using U2OS cells, the Diagenode antibody directed against TBP and optimized PCR primer pairs for qPCR.
OneDay ChIP kit
Designed to perform ChIP assays in abundance.

- Validated with our shearing ChIP Kits (Cat. No. kch-redmod-100, kch-shchro-040)
- Immunoprecipitation using agarose beads
ChIP results obtained with the Diagenode OneDay ChIP kit. ChIP assays were performed using hepatoma HTC-IR cells and antibodies directed against RNA polymerase II. Cells were non-induced and induced with 0.1 µM PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) for 10 and 30 minutes as indicated in the graph. Sheared chromatin was obtained with an "in house" protocol (see the "starting material" and "additional protocols" sections). Optimized qPCR primer pairs to amplify the promoter of the PMA-inducible egr gene were used.
