PowerPlex® ESX and ESI Systems

The PowerPlex® European Systems meet the new ENFSI recommendation for DNA profile sharing across Europe. They are based on five-color technology and allow co-amplification and detection of D3S1358, D8S1179, D18S51, D21S11, FGA, THO1, vWA, D2S441, D10S1248, D22S1045, D1S1656, D12S391, D2S1358, D16S539, D19S433, SE33 and Amelogenin. These kits are available in multiple formats, including the option to detect SE33, to accommodate various requirements or preferences. Additionally, the kits have increased tolerance to common inhibitors and increased sensitivity to obtain full profiles from low-level DNA and are robust enough to genotype degraded DNA samples through the use of miniSTR loci.

The system is compatible with the Applied Biosystems 3130 and 3130xl Genetic Analyzers and ABI PRISM® 3100, 3100-Avant and 310 Genetic Analyzers.
