CTT Silver STR System
Description
The CTT Silver STR System provides a rapid, non-radioactive method designed to
obtain a DNA type, or genetic fingerprint using very small amounts (e.g., 1ng)
of human DNA. The three STR loci that are included in this multiplex system,
CSF1PO, TPOX and TH01, contain alleles of discrete and separable lengths.
This allows the construction of allelic ladders that contain fragments of
the same length as several or all known alleles for the locus. Visual comparison
between the allelic ladder and amplified samples of the same locus allows rapid
and precise assignment of alleles.
Features
Economical:
- The CTT Silver STR System does not require fluorescent detection equipment
for analysis. The system is ideal for labs that are starting STR analysis or
that do not wish to purchase expensive fluorescent detection equipment.
Efficient:
- Less than one day required for sample to data analysis. The CTT Silver
STR System allows simultaneous amplification of threenon-overlapping STR
loci (CSF1PO, TH01 and TPOX) for high discrimination power.
Sensitive:
- vAmplification of 1-25ng of genomic DNA.
Tolerant:
- More tolerant of degraded DNA than other typing methods.
Easy Transition:
- Promega’s STR systems allow the customer to transition easily from a silver
system format to the fluorescence detection format of the GenePrint® STR Systems,
while using the same loci in each system.
Outstanding Technical Support:
- Promega Technical Services Representatives are highly trained scientists
who provide exceptional support for the entire Promega product line.
Promega also provides technical training and support for its global
distribution network and conducts customer training workshops in human DNA typing.
