After purifying the DNA, begin by taking ligated and decross-linked digested chromatin of the scarce cells. Set the water bath sonicator at a duty factor of 20%peak incidence power of 50 to 200 cycles per burst for 65 seconds, and a temperature range of 6 to 10 degrees Celsius, and sonicate the ligated and decross-linked digested chromatin. After end repairing the sample, transfer 150 microliters of C1 streptavidin beads per sample to a 1.5 milliliter tube.
Place them on a 1.5 milliliter tube magnet and wait until all the beads are stuck to the wall. Then remove the supernatant, leaving the beads behind. Next, wash the beads by adding 400 microliters of Tween buffer and resuspending them with soft vortexing.
Place the tube back in the magnet until all the beads are stuck to the wall. Then remove the supernatant, leaving the beads behind. After resuspending the beads, in 300 microliters of 2X No-Tween buffer or NTB, combine them with the 300 microliters of the sample.
Finally, incubate for 15 minutes rotating at room temperature to pull down the informative DNA fragments with biotin.
