LAMP ( Loop-mediated isothermal amplification ) reaction is a rapid nucleic acid amplification technique. Based on LAMP principle, the kit uses Bst DNA polymerase and 2-3 pairs of specific primers to generate target fragments. A Large number of hydrogen ions are generated during LAMP, result in reaction system change from basic to acidic. The pH decrease caused by successful amplification can be monitored by the color change of the pH-sensitive indicator. The pH-sensitive indicator will change to orange-yellow in positive reaction, while remain violet in negative reaction.
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification
The experiment used lambda DNA (λDNA) templates at concentrations of 100 pg/μL, 10 pg/μL, and 1 pg/μL for LAMP reactions. The results before and after the reactions are displayed in the following chart:
Results: The results indicate that BioEasy's BioEasy LAMP reagent kit (visual dye method) shows a significant color change before and after amplification in positive samples, making result interpretation easier.
