Investigator IDplex Plus KitFor multiplex amplification of 13 CODIS core loci, plus D2S1338, D19S433, and Amelogenin
The Investigator IDplex Plus Kit is a multiplex application for human identification covering the 13 CODIS (Combined DNA Index System) core loci, D2S1338, D19S433, and Amelogenin. The kit utilizes QIAGEN's fast-cycling technology, enabling amplification in just 90 minutes. Highly sensitive with rapid and reliable results from trace DNA, the Investigator IDplex Plus Kit is suitable for all forensic applications and paternity testing. The genetic analyzer is calibrated with BT5 Matrix, an optimized dye technology. Buy Products

Performance
The Investigator IDplex Plus Kit utilizes fast-cycling technology to provide reliable results in approximately 90 minutes, which is significantly faster than kits from other suppliers. The novel Fast Reaction Mix is based on proven QIAGEN multiplex PCR technology that has been further optimized to increase inhibitor tolerance. Assay performance tested in the presence of increasing concentrations of 6 types of inhibitor (humic acid, hematin, tannic acid, indigo carmine, calcium, and collagen) shows high sensitivity and superior inhibitor resistance. This enables the generation of reliable, high-quality results. The Investigator IDplex Plus Kit was validated and evaluated using the GeneAmp 9700 thermal cycler (in standard mode) and the Applied Biosystems 3500 Genetic Analyzer. The recommended amount of DNA under standard conditions is 0.5 ng. Internal validations demonstrated robust and balanced results with 0.2-2 ng DNA, and reliable results with <0.1 ng DNA.
Principle
The Investigator IDplex Plus Kit uses QIAGEN's fast-cycling PCR technology for the rapid, simultaneous amplification of the 13 CODIS (Combined DNA Index System) core loci, D2S1338, D19S433, and Amelogenin. Carefully designed primers prevent overlap of loci alleles, thereby minimizing the likelihood of misinterpretation.
Procedure
The 15 polymorphic STR markers (D2S1338, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D19S433, D21S11, CSF1PO, FGA, TH01, TPOX, and vWA), and the gender-specific Amelogenin are amplified simultaneously in a single PCR and labeled with one of the dyes listed in the table "Investigator IDplex Plus Kit dyes and corresponding markers".
Applications
The Investigator IDplex Plus Kit is for rapid and reliable generation of DNA profiles from blood, buccal swabs, and forensic stains, and it is highly suited for:
