Chromatin shearing
Diagenode's Bioruptor® is the instrument of choice for chromatin shearing used for a number of downstream applications such as qPCR and ChIP-seq that require optimally sheared, unbiased chromatin.

Panel A, 10 µl volume: Chromatin samples are sheared for 10, 20 and 30 cycles of 30 sec ON/30 sec OFF with the Bioruptor® Pico using 0.1 ml Bioruptor® Microtubes (Cat. No. B01200041). Panel B, 100 µl volume: Chromatin samples are sheared for 10 cycles of 30 sec ON/30 sec OFF with the Bioruptor® Pico using 0.65 ml Bioruptor® Microtubes (Cat. No. WA-005-0500). Panel C, 300 µl volume: Chromatin samples are sheared for 5, 10 and 15 cycles of 30 sec ON/30 sec OFF with the Bioruptor® Pico using using 1.5 ml Bioruptor microtubes (Cat. No. C30010016). Prior to de-crosslinking, samples are treated with RNase cocktail mixture at 37°C during 1 hour. The sheared chromatin is then de-crosslinked overnight and phenol/chloroform purified as described in the kit manual. 10 µl of DNA (equivalent of 500, 000 cells) are analyzed on a 2% agarose gel (MW corresponds to the 100 bp DNA molecular weight marker).
It is important to establish optimal conditions to shear crosslinked chromatin to get the correct fragment sizes needed for ChIP. Usually this process requires both optimizing sonication conditions as well as optimizing SDS concentration, which is laborious. With the Chromatin Shearing Optimization Kits, optimization is fast and easy - we provide optimization reagents with varying concentrations of SDS. Moreover, our Chromatin Shearing Optimization Kits can be used for the optimization of chromatin preparation with our kits for ChIP.
