The PowerPlex 5-Dye Matrix Standards allow the PowerPlex ESX, ESI, 18D, 21, Y23 and Fusion Systems to be analyzed on the ABI PRISM 310 Genetic Analyzer (Cat.# DG4600) and ABI PRISM 3100 and 3100-Avant or Applied Biosystems 3130, 3130xl, 3500 and 3500xL Genetic Analyzers (Cat.# DG4700). Proper generation of a spectral calibration file is critical to evaluate multicolor systems. The PowerPlex 5-Dye Matrix Standards (Cat.# DG4600 and DG4700) contain matrix fragments labeled with five fluorescent dyes: Fluorescein, JOE, TMR-ET, CXR-ET and CC5. Once generated, the spectral calibration file is applied during collection of PowerPlex data to calculate and compensate for spectral overlap between different fluorescent dye colors. The new PowerPlex 5-Dye Matrix Standards (Cat.# DG5640 and DG4850 contain matrix fragments labeled with five fluorescent dyes: Fluorescein, JOE, TMR-ET, CXR-ET and WEN.
