Chromatin shearing - Guide for successful chromatin preparation using the Bioruptor^® Pico

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a common tool used to study protein-DNA interactions in cells and tissues. The assay can be cumbersome and the success is highly dependent on the quality of chromatin. The first critical step of a successful ChIP experiment is the preparation of sheared chromatin which is representative of the biological scenario of interest.
