Notes: This study provides a multi-lab validation of the PowerPlex® 2.1 and Penta D systems. The paper also reveals the primer sequences for all ten loci. Stutter, species cross-reactivity, environmental variations, and sample mixtures were examined for all loci. The researchers were able to consistently amplify from 0.75ng of sample DNA. (2679)
