Choosing the right key enzyme raw materials to make LAMP /RT-LAMP more sensitive and faster!

Isothermal amplification technology can achieve the purpose of amplifying specific nucleic acid sequences under constant temperature conditions. Due to the characteristics of no special equipment, short amplification time, and high sensitivity, it has shown good application prospects in on-site detection and immediate diagnosis. Suitable for the development of molecular.

1. Diagnostic tools.

According to different amplification principles, Isothermal nucleic acid amplification techniques can be divided into many categories according to different amplification principles, including Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP), Cross-Primer Amplification (CPA), Strand Displacement Amplification (SDA), Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA), Nucleic Acid Sequence Based amplification (NASBA), Rolling Loop Amplification (RCA) and Helicase-Dependent Amplification (HAD), etc. At present, LAMP is the most common and widely used isothermal amplification technology that developed by Japanese scholar Notomi in 2000. The technical feature of LAMP is to design four primers for six regions of the target genes, and Bst DNA polymerase is used to perform amplification reaction at a constant temperature of 60~65℃, and achieve 109-10 fold amplification within 15-60 min.

It has been praised by many customers, perfectly replaced the imported brands in use, and solved the problems of delivery time and cost for customers.

2.1 Yeasen- Bst DNA Polymerase

Yeasen Hieff™ Bst Plus DNA Polymerase (Cat#14402ES, 14403ES) is obtained by expressing and purifying the DNA polymerase gene of Bacillus stearothermophilus sp lacking the 5′→3′ exonuclease domain in E. coli. The enzyme strand displacement ability is strong, and has the advantages of high sensitivity, high amplification efficiency, and high dUTP tolerance, and can be widely used in the real-time detection of pathogens based on isothermal amplification technology.

2.1.2 High dUTP tolerance

Yeasen Hieff™ Bst Plus DNA Polymerase for RT-LAMP reaction to amplify SARS-CoV-2 (20 copies/T). The dUTP/UDG enzymatic anti-fouling system was introduced in the recommended reaction scheme, and dUTP was used to replace dTTP. Comparing the amplification results of 35 mM dUTP replacement ( red amplification curve) and T: U = 1:1 ( blue amplification curve), it was found that the addition of dUTP in the reaction system had no effect on the sensitivity and amplification efficiency. The enzyme has high dUTP tolerance.

2.2 Yeasen -MMLV Reverse Transcriptase

Yeasen Hifair™ Ⅲ Reverse Transcriptase (Cat #11111ES, 14601ES) has fast cDNA synthesis speed, high thermal stability, and can tolerate reaction temperatures up to 65°C. It is suitable for reverse transcription of RNA templates with complex secondary structures. At the same time, the enzyme enhances the affinity with the template, which is very suitable for the reverse transcription of a small number of templates and low-copy genes. In addition, this product can amplify up to 19.8kb cDNA.

2.2.1 The recommended reaction temperature is 55℃, for high GC content templates or complex templates, reverse transcription temperature can be increased to 60°C.
