Great Experiments Require Great Controls
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a powerful and widely used approach to understanding chromatin regulation. However, ChIP experiments have numerous sources of technical challenges:
Ensure Antibody Specificity
Our findings and several publications have found that…
Only by validating with SNAP-ChIP Spike-In Controls can scientists correctly identify and avoid cross-reactive antibodies which would confound their results.

SNAP-ChIP™ Spike-In Panels
EpiCypher SNAP-ChIP Panels are sold as a single tube which contains a mixture of DNA-barcoded recombinant nucleosomes with unique PTMs. Panel sets are focused around the most widely studied, disease-implicated histone PTMs. This enables flexibility in experimental design and allows users to characterize antibody specificity for their target of interest relative to the most likely cross-reactive species. SNAP-ChIP Panels are also available for studies of:
Lysine methylation: K-MetStat Panel
Lysine acetylation: K-AcylStat Panel
Oncogenic histone mutations: OncoStat Panel
(Coming Soon) Arginine methylation: R-MetStat Panel
