Fast Process and Flexible Protocols
The PowerPlex® 21 System is a multiplex STR system for human identification applications including forensic analysis, relationship testing and research use. The system allows co-amplification and fluorescent detection of 21 loci (20 STR loci and Amelogenin), including D1S1656, D2S1338, D3S1358, D5S818, D6S1043, D7S820, D8S1179, D12S391, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D19S433, D21S11, Amelogenin, CSF1PO, FGA, Penta D, Penta E, TH01, TPOX and vWA. The system offers high discrimination with 21 markers for difficult cases and complete data overlap with most existing multiplexes.
The PowerPlex® 21 System increases laboratory productivity and decreases average turnaround time with 90-minute PCR. Laboratories can also save labor and time since the wash step for FTA® cards is eliminated. Simpler protocols are available for swabs and nonFTA card punches as well. The higher inhibitor tolerance of this system benefits challenging casework samples and results in less locus drop-out and reaction failure for higher success rates.
Promega forensic products are manufactured in alignment with the ISO 18385 standard. This standard ensures minimal risk of human DNA contamination for products used to collect, store and analyze biological materials for forensic purposes. Learn more.
Flexibility for Most Sample Types
The PowerPlex® 21 System is designed to work with a variety of sample types, including difficult casework samples and is compatible with direct amplification from FTA® card punches as well as pretreated swabs and Bode Buccal Collector™ device or S&S 903 punches.
