SX-8G IP-Star® Compact Automated System

Back to listing

Description

Chromatin immunoprecipitation and DNA methylation assays followed by next generation sequencing is a powerful technique for generating genome-wide profiles of epigenetic modifications and transcription factor binding sites. The SX-8G IP-Star® Compact Automated System provides the flexibility needed to change multiple parameters in the protocols to achieve optimal experimental conditions. Samples generated on the system are compatible with popular downstream applications such as QPCR, microarrays and next generation sequencing platforms. In addition to automated ChIP [link to ChIP application page] and DNA methylation protocols [link to DNA methylation page], this system contains a wide variety of protocols including next generation sequencing library preparation and sample purification.

Results

ChIP-seq  data produced using Diagenode' Auto Histone ChIP-seq kit and the IP-Star automated system

We performed in collaboration with the Genome Center (UC Davis) automated ChIP followed by next generation sequencing (Illumina Genome Analyzer) to map the epigenomic profiles of six major histone modifications in human primary T cells.

Figure 1. Auto ChIP-seq assays were performed on the SX8G IP-Star using primary human CD4 and CD8 T cells isolated by negative magnetic separation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Each Auto-ChIP sample was performed using Diagenode's  Auto Histone ChIP-seq kit reagents and contained 1 ug of input chromatin. Illumina Genome Analyzer libraries were prepared and the samples were sequenced at the DNA Technologies Core at UC Davis.
