Question

Hello, I am working on optimizing a sonication protocol for use with the ab500 ChIP kit I purchased from your company.  I have attached the raw picture of the gel image as well as one I modified (by increasing the contrast) to better visualize the sonication results.  I was hoping you would be able to help me analyze the result.  I believe, in the lane next to the ladder (lane 2), that sonication time is optimal, but perhaps one less sonication cycle would be better.  The 5th band from the bottom on the marker is the 500bp mark and the second band from the bottom of the marker is the 200bp mark.  As shown in the lane 2, the sonication result is from 200-500bp.  Is this over sonicated? Also, based on the changes across the lanes (which correspond to sonication cycles of 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 left to right), it appears as though less sonication cycles (i.e., 4 cycles) might be better to produce slightly larger fragments.   Thanks,

Answer

Thank you for contacting us and for your patience while I have worked on your enquiry. I forwarded your data and questions to the lab that produces and tests this kit, and they sent the following response: "The fragment range for CHIP experiment should be 100-700 bp . Smaller fragments will not be amplified in PCR after ChIP as usually  amplicons size is 100-150 bp. Bigger fragments might lead to non-specific background. Regarding the results of you sent, the range seems to be correct but the intensity is low. We would recommend to check the amount of chromatin used." I hope this information will be useful, but if you have any further questions please let me know and I'll be happy to help.

Question

I have difficulties in sonicating small volumes and keeping them cold at the same time. I would like to know the name/model of the sonicator and its tips you use to sonicate a volume of 100 microliters (which is the volume you suggest to resuspend 3x10e6 cells) cell lysate. If possible, please also provide the appropriate settings used (time,interval,impulse etc.) to obtain a DNA fragment size of 200-1000 bp in U2OS cells.

Asked on Oct 12 2011

Answer

Thank you for contacting Abcam regarding ab500. I have confirmed the following details regarding the sonication protocol to use with this kit: - The protocol for chromatin shearing is optimized for Bioruptor (Standard or Plus) - High Power setting with 30’’ On/30’’ Off should be used for chromatin shearing. - Shearing efficiency depends on cell type so a time course experiment (10-15-20 min) is recommended. - Water bath should be kept cold (crushed ice or cooling system). I hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any additional questions.

Answer

Thanks for your call yesterday and for your patience while I have been in touch with the lab about ab500. The lab usually does not use RNAse with this kit, but you can add an RNAse step if you would like. We recommend doing this step either during chromating shearing (before IP) or during DNA purification (after IP). I hope this information will be helpful, but please let me know if you have any further questions or if there is anything else that we can do for you.

Hello, I was wondering if you could tell me the components of Buffer D in ab500 (ChIP kit). I need to make more of it.  Also, if you sell a larger volume of this buffer D, could you tell me the price and catalogue number.  I also am in need of another PI tablet. Could you tell me if you sell them individually, and if so, their catalog number and price. Thanks,

Asked on Sep 13 2011

Answer

Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, the lab where the kit is developed and produced are not able to release the composition of the buffer D supplied with the kit ab500 as it is proprietary information. I was also informed that we cannot supply any of the components separately. We aim to provide as much information as possible to our customers, so I am sorry that this has not been possible on this occasion. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Question

I've purchased the ab500 ChIP kit, and I've been setting up the technique in our lab for some time. I've run out of DNA purifying slurry, but I still have all the other components of the kit, and I'm in the middle of an experiment. My question is, how can I replace the DNA purifying slurry? is there an alternative way to purify the DNA after immunoprecipitation? can I purchase it separately? thank you very much in advance

Asked on Jun 10 2011

Answer

Update on the matter: Unfortunately, DNA purifying slurry is not available separately. After last immunoprecipitation step, DNA is bound to the beads. DNA has to be eluted, de-cross linked and purified. In the kit, these steps are made rapidly with the slurry. If the slurry is not available, any other Chip protocol might be applied (available on-line).

Question

I have been trying to find a satisfactory condition for DNA sonication using your ChIP Kit. Until now, the results are somewhat confusing and I was wondering if you could give me a hint as to what the DNA purifying slurry contains. Is it protein beads? The DNA yield is pretty low and the samples seem to be quite dirty. Do you have any suggestions?

Asked on Jun 24 2010

Answer

Thank you for your inquiry. DNA purifying slurry is a chelating resin used to purify DNA via ion exchange. It is very effective in binding metal contaminants with a high selectivity for divalent ions that might introduce DNA damage and inhibit PCR. DNA remains in solution above the slurry with high recovery. A resulting low yield of DNA is most probably due to inefficient IP (bad DNA shearing, bad Ab, low starting amount of cells etc). I hope this information helps. Please contact us with any other questions.
