"I use the PowerPlex ESI kits for Identity testing with my CE instruments. The kit is incredibly robust and works well all the time. I would highly recommend it to anyone using CE. Promega is a great company and is quick to answer questions. I will always work with them."
Review date: 21 Sep 2015 | PowerPlex® ESX 17 and ESI 17 Fast Systems
The PowerPlex® ESX 17 and ESI 17 Fast Systems meet recommendations of the European Network of Forensic Science Institutes (ENFSI) 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, TH01, vWA, D2S441, D10S1248, D22S1045, D1S1656, D12S391, D2S1338, 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 mini-STR loci. Using rapid cycling technology, amplification can be done in less than 50 minutes.
The systems are compatible with the Applied Biosystems® 3130, 3130xl and 3500 Genetic Analyzers and ABI PRISM® 3100, 3100-Avant and 310 Genetic Analyzers. PowerPlex® ESI and ESX Fast Systems
Features & Benefits:
- More Kit Configurations - Satisfy your specific needs for processing database and casework samples.
- More Loci - Amplify all ENFSI-recommended loci, with or without SE33.
- More Mini-STRs - Obtain more complete profiles from degraded DNA.
- More Robust Buffer - Achieve better results with inhibited samples.
- More Complete Kit - Complete system includes Taq DNA polymerase in a convenient master mix, size standard and amplification-grade water.
- Automatic Assignment of Genotypes - Panels and bins text files are required for use with GeneMapper® ID and ID-X software and are available for download.
