Sensitivity study of the Investigator ESSplex Plus Kit. Different concentrations of Control DNA XY5 were used as a template. Samples were amplified on an ABI GeneAmp PCR System 9700 Thermal Cycler with gold-plated silver block. Analysis was performed on an AB Genetic Analyzer 3500, equipped with a 36cm 8-capillary array and POP-4™ polymer. NTC: no-template control. Note that the y-axis scales were adjusted for best fit. Each sample was run in triplicates, representative data are shown.

Overview of the Investigator ESSplex Plus inhibitor resistance. The assay was tested with six inhibitors (humic acid, hematin, tannic acid, indigo carmine, calcium, and collagen). 500pg of Control DNA XY5 was used as template and PCR was performed under standard conditions in duplicates. 100 RFU was used as the threshold for allele calling. The colour scheme indicates the number of called versus expected alleles.
