Abstract for PowerPlex® 2.1 System

The PowerPlex® 2.1 System allows the co-amplification and two-color detection of nine STR loci. The PowerPlex® 2.1 System contains the loci Penta E, D18S51, D21S11, TH01, D3S1358, FGA, TPOX, D8S1179 and vWA. One of the two primers for Penta E, D18S51, D21S11, TH01 and D3S1358 is labeled with fluorescein (FL) and one primer specific for FGA, TPOX, D8S1179 and vWA is labeled with carboxy-tetramethylrhodamine (TMR). All nine loci are amplified simultaneously in a single tube and analyzed in a single gel lane.

The PowerPlex® 2.1 System is customized for use with the Hitachi FMBIO® and FMBIO® II Fluorescent Scanners. The system provides all of the materials necessary for amplification of STR regions of purified genomic DNA with the exception of AmpliTaq Gold® DNA polymerase. This manual contains separate protocols for use of the PowerPlex® 2.1 System with the Perkin-Elmer model 480 and GeneAmp® PCR system 9600, 9700 and 2400 thermal cyclers, in addition to protocols for separation of amplified products and detection of separated material. Protocols for operation of the fluorescence-detecting instrumentation should be obtained from the manufacturer.
