IsoFast™ Hot Start Bst Colour reagents are colourimetric isothermal amplification enzyme formulations that combine IsoFast™ Hot Start Bst Polymerase with a pH-based dye for rapid positive/negative screening.
IsoFast™ Hot Start Bst Polymerase is a recombinant version of the large fragment of Geobacillus stearothermophilus (formerly known as Bacillus stearothermophilus, Bst) DNA Polymerase. This colourimetric formulation is available both as a preassembled mix, IsoFast™ Hot Start Bst Colour Mix, for direct sample and primer input. Alternatively, IsoFast™ Hot Start Bst Polymerase Colour is available as a separate Bst DNA Polymerase and colour buffer system, which allows full assay customisation and maximum setup flexibility. This isothermal amplification system enables PCR-free, direct, colour-based readout of DNA targets that is ideal for point-of-care diagnostics and field testing.
Features:
Fast colour readout for positive/negative testing
AptaLock™ hot start for ultra-sensitive detection of DNA targets
Rapid polymerisation for faster time to results (as little as 10 mins)
Detect down to 3 target copies per μL
Ideal for both cold and room temperature setup
Improved speed and sensitivity for early target detection
High activity at a broad range of temperatures from 55-70 °C
