PowerPlex ESX and ESI Fast Systems

Description

The PowerPlex® ESX and ESI Fast Systems meet the ENFSI recommendation for DNA profile sharing across Europe. They utilize rapid cycling technology—amplification can be done in less than 50 minutes. Based on the current PowerPlex® ESI and ESX Systems, they allow co-amplification and detection of D3S1358, D8S1179, D18S51, D21S11, FGA, TH01, vWA, D2S441, D10S1248, D22S1045, D1S1656, D12S391, D2S1338, D16S539, D19S433, SE33 (optional) and Amelogenin.

The PowerPlex® ESX and ESI Fast Systems are compatible with numerous capillary electrophoresis instruments, including the Applied Biosystems® 3130, 3130xl, 3500 and 3500xL Genetic Analyzers and ABI PRISM® 3100, 3100-Avant and 310 Genetic Analyzers.

• Cycling time of less than 50 minutes saves hours per run
• Multiple kit configurations enable confirmation of results from poor-quality samples
• One kit for casework or databasing samples
• Common loci allow simplified data sharing across borders
• Superior inhibitor tolerance and mini-STRs ensure a high success rate with challenging casework samples

Achieve the Same Superior Results But in Less Time

The PowerPlex® ESI and ESX Systems provide the equivalent level of performance demonstrated by the original PowerPlex® ESI and ESX Systems. By utilizing the same robust buffer and primer design, the PowerPlex® ESX and ESI Fast Systems produce more complete profiles with challenging samples including those which contain a high level of inhibitors or samples which are comprised of degraded or low template DNA.

Improved Sensitivity for More Meaningful Analyses

The PowerPlex® ESI and ESX Fast Systems reliably produce complete STR profiles from as little as 100pg of human DNA, and the majority of alleles can be called with as little as 30pg of DNA.

Perform Direct Amplification from a Variety of Sample Types

The PowerPlex® ESI and ESX Fast Systems allow direct amplification from FTA® card punches as well as pretreated nonFTA cards and commonly used swabs to streamline workflow and expand sample throughput.
