Histone purification system for high throughput applications
Active Motif’s Histone Purification Microplate Kit enables purification of core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) using very small amounts (as little as 0.9 x 105 cells) of starting material, and its microplate spin column format enables elution into a 96-well plate to easily transition into downstream high-throughput applications, including our Histone Modification ELISAs and Luminex® Histone H3 PTM Multiplex Assays to screen for changes in histone modifications
The Histone Purification Microplate Kit method utilizes the identical proprietary buffer system used in our Histone Purification Kit and our Histone Purification Mini Kit to purify core histones from cells and tissue samples. This purification method is superior to acid precipitation methods because it preserves post-translational histone modifications and greatly improves the purity and yield of your isolated histones to improve the reliability and consistency of your sample preparation. Histones isolated by this method are excellent substrates for use in downstream high-throughput screening assays, Western blot or mass spectrometry.
