Life sciences encompass a diverse range of scientific disciplines focused on the study of living organisms and their interactions with the environment. From basic life sciences (such as cell biology, genetics, immunology, and microbiology) to applied life sciences (such as disease research, multi-omics, and biotechnology), this broad field explores the fundamental processes of life and drives advancements in disease research, patient care, and our overall understanding of living organisms. Discover the endless possibilities of life sciences and their impact on shaping a healthier and more sustainable world.
The 384 well format kit is a newer version of the tried and true non-radiographic HDAC assay. As in the previous kit, samples are first incubated with the HDAC Assay substrate, allowing deacetylation of the fluorometric substrate. After incubation, the activator solution is added, and releases a fluorophore from the deacetylated substrate or standard. The sample is then put into a microplate reader and fluorescence (i.e free/c…
This assay is a simple two-step procedure performed in a microtiter plate. In the first step, samples are incubated with the HDAC assay substrate, allowing deacetylation of the substrate. Next, the Activator Solution releases p-nitroanilide from the deacetylated substrate or standard.
The EZ-Zyme™ Chromatin Prep kit allows ChIP analysis at nucleosome resolution by performing complete or partial digestions with a proprietary enzymatic cocktail to obtain chromatin fragments of on average one to a few nucleosomes in length. Compared to sonication, this procedure not only allows mapping the protein-DNA association at a higher resolution, but also renders the subsequent immunoprecipitation more efficient due to…
The Rac1/Cdc42 Activation Assay provides an effective method for detecting Rac and Cdc42 activity in cell lysates. This assay uses the downstream effector of Rac/Cdc42, p21-activated protein kinase (PAK1), to isolated the active GTP-bound form of Rac/Cdc42 from the sample. The p21 binding domain (PBD) of PAK1 is expressed as a GST-fusion protein and coupled to agarose beads. After precipitation, an immunoblot is performed and…
The ChIPAb+ CREB, antibody/primer set includes the CREB, antibody, a negative control antibody (purified rabbit IgG), and qPCR primers which amplify a 64 bp region flanking the CRE of the human cFos gene. The CREB and negative control cultured supernatant are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of CREB associated chromatin.
Every lot of the ChIPAb+ line of antibodies is individually validated for chromatin precipitation, in order to guarantee successful ChIP assays every time. Each antibody includes a control primer set for performance confirmation. Sp1 antibody and the negative control antibody (rabbit normal IgG) can be used to demonstrate that the Sp1 antibody is functionally validated in the precipitation of Sp1 associated chromatin. The qPCR…
Every lot of the ChIPAb+ line of antibodies is individually validated for chromatin precipitation, in order to guarantee successful ChIP assays every time. Each antibody includes a control primer set for performance confirmation. LEF1 antibody and the negative control antibody (mouse normal IgG) can be used to demonstrate that the LEF1 antibody is functionally validated in the precipitation of LEF1 associated chromatin.The qPC…
The ChIPAb+ HDAC1 set includes the HDAC1 antibody, the negative control antibody supernatant (mouse IgG), and qPCR primers flanking an Sp1 binding site in human p21 (WAF1/CIP1/CDKN1A) promoter, amplifying a 105 base pair PCR product. The HDAC1 and negative control antibodies are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of HDAC1 associated chromatin.
The ChIPAb+ Trimethyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) set includes the anti-trimethyl-histone H3 (Lys4) antibody, a negative control antibody (normal rabbit serum), and qPCR primers which amplify a 166 base pair region within the promoter of the human GAPDH gene. The trimethyl-histone H3 (Lys4) and negative control antibodies are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of tr…
The ChIPAb+ Acetyl-Histone H3 set contains purified rabbit polyclonal antibody and the normal rabbit IgG antibody, which can be used to demonstrate that the acetyl-histone H3 antibody is capable of precipitating acetyl-histone H3 associated chromatin. The qPCR primers included flank the human GAPDH promoter and produce a 166 base pair PCR product.
