PunchSolution™ Kit Technical Manual

Literature # TMD038

The PunchSolution™ Kit is designed for processing punches from nonFTA storage cards prior to amplification using PowerPlex® Systems for human STR genotyping. The PunchSolution™ Kit is suitable for preprocessing punches from nonFTA storage cards that have been used to collect buccal cells or blood. The PunchSolution™ Kit contains PunchSolution™ Reagent and 5X AmpSolution™ Reagent. The PunchSolution™ Reagent is used for treating punches before amplification whereas the 5X AmpSolution™ Reagent must be added to PowerPlex® Systems that are AmpSolution™-dependent. The AmpSolution™-Dependent PowerPlex® Systems listed in Table 1 will not generate a full profile from punches treated with PunchSolution™ Reagent without addition of the 5X AmpSolution™ Reagent.
