Isothermal Amplification

Enzymes for Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP)

Isothermal amplification is a low-cost and rapid method for detecting low amounts of DNA. This technique eliminates the need for a thermal cycler and is increasingly used in rugged field or point of care settings for the rapid diagnosis of plant pathogens or infectious disease agents. 

Below we offer the highly processive Bst and phi29 DNA polymerases which both have high strand displacement activities. These enzymes allow researchers to perform assays outside of high-tech laboratories using low complexity instrumentation.

For developement of loop-mediated isothermal amplification diagnostic tests BioCat also offers ready-to-use Air-Dryable and Lyo-Ready LAMP Mastermixes from Meridian.
