The VersaPlex® Matrix Standards consist of DNA fragments labeled with different fluorescent dyes in one tube for use with the VersaPlex® Systems. Once generated, the spectral calibration file is applied during sample detection to calculate the spectral overlap and separate the raw fluorescent signals into individual color signals. A spectral calibration must be generated for each individual instrument, and must be performed after the installation of a capillary array following a spatial calibration. A spectral calibration should also be performed after any major maintenance on the system, such as changing the laser, replacing the camera or if a decrease in spectral separation is observed in the STR results. We also recommend generating a new matrix any time the instrument is moved to a new location.
