This flexible format allows for immunoprecipitation and purification of DNA from mammalian cells or tissue in a convenient microwell format.

ChIP is an innovative technology that enables scientists to investigate complex DNA-protein interactions in vivo, potentially increasing the speed and accuracy of disease research and drug discovery. The Imprint(TM) ChIP Kit provides researchers with rapid and accurate results, enabling high-throughput, same-day downstream analyses via quantitative PCR, MS-PCR, and DNA sequencing as well as DNA microarray. With the shortest protocol time and highest throughput capabilities on the market, the Imprint(TM) ChIP Kit, offers significant time and cost savings to epigenetic researchers.

Epiontis..Our novel analytical products, based on DNA methylation, are aimed at making Regenerative Medicine safer and better. Methylation analysis is the most appropriate technology for Quality Control (QC) of cells. Such QC is essential for cell therapy appproaches, which are seen as a very promising area of the health care market. Epiontis offers its QC-tool to partners in this industry, i.e., to companies that produce cell therapeutics. Thus, Epiontis safeguards the patients by ensuring that cell therapies are help- rather than harmful.

Epiontis is supported by a network of renowned academic partners and companies with expertise in Regenerative Medicine and DNA methylation. The company is based in Berlin, Germany
