PowerPlex® 21 System

Description

A fast and flexible 21-plex for casework, paternity and database testing, the PowerPlex® 21 System provides:

• Rapid thermal cycling, saving time with every run
• Unbeatable inhibitor tolerance, enabling analysis of challenging casework samples
• Optimized protocols for many sample types, including direct amplification from FTA® cards, as well as pretreated non FTA® card punches or swabs

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.

Unbeatable Inhibitor Tolerance

The PowerPlex® 21 System is more tolerant of PCR inhibitors than other STR systems including the PowerPlex® 16 HS System. This allows more interpretable data and less need for re-amplification of samples previously deemed “difficult” due to the presence of inhibitors.
