The GTYDetector 29 multiplex system was designed to achieve high power of discrimination using a 5 dye system, without upgrading detection system to a 6 dye channels. This kit is optimized to amplify 27 STR markers in a single reaction. Additionally, an Amelogenin marker is used to eliminate female sample contamination or PCR failure due to female sample mix-up. The kit allows detection of low concentrated male DNA in female samples (important for sexual assault cases) as well as detection of male-male DNA mixtures. This kit is compatible with Applied Biosystems™ 3500/3500xL and 3130/3130xl capillary electrophoresis platforms for detection and analysis. The Kit’s performance has been tested on more than 1000 samples.
Key Features
Easy to use mix
Multiplex analysis of 30 loci in 5 dye system
AMXY loci is added to detect mix sample source (male-female mix) and to rule out female DNA contamination in sexual assault.
Applicable to a variety of DNA sources – blood, hair, bone, saliva, etc. or direct sample to PCR using DNA banking card (DBC™) or DBC Blue™.
