Isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology can be divided into many categories according to different amplification principles. At present, the most common and widely used is the loop-mediated isothermal amplification technology(LAMP) developed by Japanese scholar Notomi et al. in 2000. Bst DNA polymerase is the core enzyme of isothermal amplification technology. What is the function and performance of Bst DNA polymerase in LAMP?

1. How does Bst DNA polymerase plays a role in LAMP？

The technical feature of LAMP is to design four primers for six regions of the target gene and carry out the amplification reaction using BST DNA polymerase under the constant temperature condition of 60~65 ℃, achieving 109-1010 times amplification within 15-60 minutes. Bst DNA polymerase has strong thermal stability, strand displacement activity, and polymerase activity. It can be a rapid, efficient, and specific amplification template under constant temperature conditions without PCR thermal denaturation amplification cycle, and complete the entire LAMP experiment within 1 hour.

 

2. What is Lyophilized Bst Plus DNA Polymerase?

Lyophilized Bst Plus DNA Polymerase is used to freeze glycerol-free Bst Plus DNA Polymerase, which solves the problem of glycerol-free Bst enzyme instability. At the same time, this product has strong 5 '- 3' DNA polymerase activity, strand displacement activity, and dUTP tolerance, which is more suitable for the anti-pollution isothermal amplification reaction, It is convenient for customers to use in the production of freeze-dried products.

4.2 stability

The performance of freeze-dried powder after thermal acceleration can still be consistent with that of liquid reagent, and freeze-dried powder(14405ES) is 
universal and can be used for the fluorescent dye method and pH indicator method.

4.2.1 Fluorescent dye method——stability

In the RT-LAMP fluorescent dye amplification system, the performance of glycerol-free Bst freeze-dried powder after T0, 45℃-7days and 45℃ -15 days of thermal acceleration is consistent with that of the liquid version of glycerol-free Bst enzyme, and NTC does not peak.

Experimental conditions:

Note: The control group is a liquid version without glycerol Bst enzyme of the same concentration.
