OptiGene’s patented thermostable DNA polymerase for amplification reactions requiring an initial heat-denaturing step.
Extreme thermostability and strong strand-displacement activity enable applications unachievable in a single, closed-tube reaction using alternative isothermal enzymes.
Key features:
Extreme thermostability* ( < 98ºC )
Superior strand-displacement activity
5’-3’ exonuclease minus
3’-5’ exonuclease minus
*no loss of activity is observed in a LAMP reaction following 5 minutes @ 95ºC step.
Advantages of HD-LAMP:
Template denaturation step at 95ºC prior to amplification has been shown to increase target sensitivity1
Increased primer specificity – reduces false-priming that may occur at lower temperatures.
Simple template extraction (cell-lysis).
Sample heat-lysis, amplification and detection in a single tube.
