For months I have been trying to perform a chip in my lentivirus infected cells.
I have had huge problems regarding the sonication. It is never the same and I have too much genomic DNA. In particular, after 30 second cycles (30 secs. on, 30 secs. off) my smear is still spread too much. I am using a kit made by a company from Belgium, and working with brain and kidney cancer cells. To be sure that the sonicator was not the problem I sheared some genomic DNA, which gave me a very good results. Does anybody else have the same problem, or any advice?
