Abstract for PowerPlex® 16 System

The PowerPlex® 16 System allows the co-amplification and three-color detection of sixteen loci (fifteen STR loci and Amelogenin). The system contains the loci Penta E, D18S51, D21S11, TH01, D3S1358, FGA, TPOX, D8S1179, vWA, Amelogenin, Penta D, CSF1PO, D16S539, D7S820, D13S317 and D5S818. One primer specific for Penta E, D18S51, D21S11, TH01 and D3S1358 is labeled with fluorescein (FL); one primer specific for FGA, TPOX, D8S1179, vWA and Amelogenin is labeled with carboxy-tetramethylrhodamine (TMR); and one primer specific for Penta D, CSF1PO, D16S539, D7S820, D13S317 and D5S818 is labeled with 6-carboxy-4′,5′-dichloro-2′,7′-dimethoxy-fluorescein (JOE). All sixteen loci are amplified simultaneously in a single tube and analyzed in a single injection or gel lane.

The PowerPlex® 16 System is designed specifically for use with the ABI PRISM® 310 Genetic Analyzer and is compatible with the ABI PRISM® 3100 and 3100-Avant Genetic Analyzers and 377 DNA Sequencer and Applied Biosystems 3130 and 3130xl Genetic Analyzers.

The PowerPlex® 16 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® 16 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.
