  We employ the Dyson-Schwinger equations for quark and gluon propagators in
order to study QCD with 2+1 flavours at finite temperature and density. In a
suitable truncation for these equations, we determine the position of the
critical end-point as well as the deconfinement temperature at all chemical
potentials. For the latter, the Polyakov-loop potential is obtained from the
QCD propagators. This is possible for the first time at finite chemical
potential, with implications for effective models.
