PowerPlex® 35GY System

Designed for amplification of extracted DNA and direct amplification of single-source reference samples, the PowerPlex® 35GY System enables laboratories to process all sample types with one amplification kit. The PowerPlex® 35GY System is optimized to work with 1ng of extracted DNA in a 25μl reaction volume and is compatible with the Spectrum CE System and Spectrum Compact CE System.

To help you better interpret the quality of your STR results, the PowerPlex® 35GY System is the first PowerPlex® system to include two Quality Indicators, QIS and QIL. The Quality Indicators take the guesswork out of determining if amplification was successful by confirming if DNA is present or if the sample amplification was inhibited. Knowing whether a sample was degraded or inhibited lets you decide whether to repeat sample analysis.

Mixed casework samples often contain PCR inhibitors, and the minor DNA component may be present at a very low level. The enhanced sensitivity and superior capability to overcome inhibition, as well as inclusion of 11 Y-STR loci in the PowerPlex® 35GY System, enable laboratories to interpret mixed samples more confidently than previously possible.
