Promega Corporation announces the release of the PowerPlex® Fusion 6C System, a 6-color, 27-locus multiplex. The system combines common and informative loci to overcome typical challenges faced by laboratories, including sample inhibitors, low levels of input DNA, degradation, and mixtures.

PowerPlex Fusion 6C includes the 23 loci in the expanded CODIS core loci panel (including SE33), as well as Penta D and Penta E for greater discriminatory power than seen in other available STR systems. Two rapidly-mutating Y-STR loci, DYS570 and DYS576, are included in the multiplex for improved mixture interpretation. Rapid-cycling protocols of approximately one hour allow laboratories to focus on more value-added activities.

Users can consistently generate complete DNA profiles from as little as 200pg of input DNA and usable, partial profiles from input amounts as low as 50pg. PowerPlex Fusion 6C works with difficult casework samples, including inhibitor-laden samples, degraded DNA and mixtures. Optimized protocols are provided ...
