Agilent's novel and powerful method of location analysis of DNA binding
proteins pairs chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) with Agilent DNA
microarrays to allow the construction of comprehensive DNA-protein binding
profiles. This oligonucleotide microarray enables you to use ChIP-on-chip
technology to gain broad insight into the mechanisms of human gene
regulation by studying the ENCODE regions on a genome-wide scale.
Features and Benefits at a Glance
Comprehensive and Genome-Wide
153,000 probes cover chromosomes
1–22 for the ENCODE regions.
Superior Microarray Performance
Proprietary microarray technology using
optimized 60-mer oligonucleotide probes
and a convenient two-color labeling
system deliver higher sensitivity,
accuracy, and greater reproducibility
than one-color systems. These unique
features allow sensitive measurements
of weak- and infrequent-binding events,
as well as direct comparisons of
samples on the same microarray.
Reliable Binding Data
Powerful algorithms employ
neighborhood probe voting with multiple
probes to generate reliable data with
greater true-binding events and fewer
false positives.
Agilent SurePrint Technology
Printed using Agilent's SurePrint
technology that features a flexible,
industrial-scale inkjet printing process
that synthesizes oligonucleotide probes
in situ onto 1" x 3" slides. Our
technology provides a means to
consistent, reliable, and affordable
microarray products.
Access to Probe Sequence and
Annotation
Offers convenient access to public
databases and easy extraction of
biological information.
Compatible with Easy-to-Use Data
Analysis Software
ChIP Analytics software combines
annotated, algorithmic array data
processing with an easily manipulated
text file output and high-speed
statistical modeling functions.

The Agilent Probe Advantage
Unlike other companies, Agilent
provides optimized and validated probe
design that delivers the high signal-tonoise ratios that are essential for the
success of ChIP-on-chip experiments.
We carefully design our probes using
stringent criteria.*
• 60-mer oligonucleotide probes provide
robust hybridization—critical for the
sensitivity and specificity that
ChIP-on-chip demands.
• Average probe spacing parameters
have been specifically optimized for
the ChIP method as compared to other
microarray applications.
• Repeat regions are masked to
significantly reduce non-specific noise.
*Probes are designed with criteria including
optimal Tm, unique sequence, and self-structure
prediction.
