The PowerPlex 4-Dye Matrix Standards allow the PowerPlex 16, PowerPlex 16 HS, PowerPlex S5, PowerPlex CS7, PowerPlex 16 and ES Monoplex Systems and GenePrint 10 System to be analyzed on the ABI PRISM 310 Genetic Analyzer or ABI PRISM 377 DNA Sequencer (Cat.# DG4640) and the ABI PRISM 3100 and 3100-Avant or Applied Biosystems 3130, 3130xl, 3500 and 3500xL Genetic Analyzers (Cat.# DG4650). Proper generation of a spectral calibration file is critical to evaluate multicolor systems. The PowerPlex 4-Dye Matrix Standards contain matrix fragments labeled with four fluorescent dyes: Fluorescein, JOE, TMR and CXR. 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 4C Matrix Standard (Cat.# DG4800) replaces PowerPlex Matrix Standards, 3100/3130 (Cat.# DG4650), and contains a single tube of mixed fluorescent dye-labeled matrix fragments.|
