The PowerPlex® 16 System allows co-amplification and three-color detection of Penta E, D18S51, D21S11, TH01, D3S1358, FGA, TPOX, D8S1179, vWA, Amelogenin, Penta D, CSF1PO, D16S539, D7S820, D13S317 and D5S818 for databasing, forensic casework and relationship testing applications. This NDIS-approved system includes the 13 core CODIS loci and two low-stutter, highly polymorphic pentanucleotide repeat loci, Penta E and Penta D.
The PowerPlex® 16 Monoplex Systems are available to amplify individual loci to confirm results or re-amplify DNA when one or more loci do not amplify initially due to suboptimal amplification conditions or poor DNA quality. View the catalog listing for PowerPlex® 16 Monoplex Systems.
STR Analysis Using the PowerPlex® 16 System
-
Gain confidence when analyzing precious samples: Each lot provides reproducible results with 0.1ng of DNA. Additional studies show interpretable results with <0.1ng of=DNA
-
Amplify all 13 CODIS STR loci in one reaction: A full CODIS profile allows NDIS compatibility.
-
Resolve challenging cases:The 16 loci included are more discriminating than competitive systems.
-
Gain flexibility: The PowerPlex® 16 System is compatible with the Applied Biosystems 3130 and 3130xl Genetic Analyzers and ABI PRISM® 3100, 3100-Avant and 310 Genetic Analyzers.
